I figured out that it just drops you into a root ahell, which is a bad thing.

You should try to never login as root. It's just bad security hygiene.

I run sudo apt update, put in my password, thenonce my repos are updated, I run sudo apt upgrade. Password only has to be input once, unless I get busy and forget to do the upgrade command, in which case I haven't left a root shell unattended for however long it took me to realize that I left the shell open.

That way if someone else comes along and tries to do stuff, they only have the limited privilege level that my user does.

I just sudo [command].

The correct answer is, "We don't know son. You could become a paleo-biologist and be the one to figure it out!"

I think the more people who aren't using corporate operating systems, the better.

I'm firmly against Microsoft, Red Hat, and Ubuntu.

There's nothing that makes me chill out and vibe faster after work.

I've been using Debian for the better part of 20 years, and sudo has never not worked.

If you do multiple admin commands, sudo doesn't prompt for your password. There's some time limit before having to re input it.

Logging in as root is bad security hygiene. You'll become complacent and leave it logged in at some point. That's how you get pwnd.
