sudo man sudo
Just once.
sudo -s
Unpopular opinion:
On 99% of all Linux systems, you don’t need sudo.
It’s not like you have hundreds of users with varying levels of access logging into your PC.
Just use root for admin tasks.How else will the OS know I’m serious ?
“Yes, Do as I say!”
sudo dnf --help
But how will I run that command I copied from some murky internet forum?
Y’er a root, Harry!!
But rm -fr / * seems not to work for removing the French language pack. Can someone confirm if it works with sudo?
Works fine with sudo, removes all the French bloat.
I see French bloated my system to the fullest!
Glad you fixed it. Don’t forget to reboot.
Yeah I only use sudo once, for the su.
… but why? “sudo -i” is a thing. Why get another program involved?
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Some people think before they type. They also do not think mindlessly typing “sudo” before every fucking line in bash is a valid substitute for knowing what they do. Many of them have been doing so for decades on HPUX, Solaris, BSDs and IRIX on their own and other people’s/companies machines, not just on their single bedroom machine.
Personally it’s because my fingers are already on “s” and “u”.
I don’t think many people know about this feature
It’s easier to just call su once and run every single command as root rather than having to randomly use sudo for some commands and not for others (/s if it’s not obvious)
But you can do that without involving ‘su’.
I don’t use sudo.
Ever.
It’s disabled by default in slackware, and I don’t know why it’s even there.Tell me how you can run rm rf / no preserve root without su, I’m waiting.
Is this some kind of joke going over my head or something?
Run “sudo -i” then run “rm -rf --no-preserve-root”
Yeah I’m just joking around. I pretty much never use su except in rare cases
I mean, yeah, it’s your computer. Just login on the root account, nothing bad ever comes of that, not even once, nope.
Shut the front door!
In a lot of situations it’s actually bad to use sudo because it can impact settings that make programs or file ownership go to root instead of the user.
You’ve got to be a damn idiot jumping over his own shadow to get that done. How would you even do that? Running
chown -R root.rootover directories or mount points? Deleting files in /dev or /run and recreating them using “touch” without looking up ownerships before? I wrote “touch” because anyone proceeding to “mknod” would at least have read some man pages. BTW, you’d need su for that rather than sudo.
makepkg won’t even run as root iirc
sudo -i -u user -s /usr/bin/bash
sudo claude just fuck my shit upOh, you mean better use doas everywhere? Got it.
