Look at OP, claiming to have that mythical girlfriend who will make a sandwich without escalating privileges
If I’m using the CLI, it tends to be for things that require root access. Can’t properly skull fucm my system without root
You’re right, just add
Sudo -sto/etc/profileDon’t need sudo if you’re always root.
Now excuse me. I need to call the bank and find out why my checking account is suddenly $0.
And yet half the time when I’m root I preface with sudo. I can’t stop myself!
Yeah I only use sudo once, for the su.
Straight to jail.
… but why? “sudo -i” is a thing. Why get another program involved?
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
I don’t think many people know about this feature
Personally it’s because my fingers are already on “s” and “u”.
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’ve seen that piece, mostly in beginner instructions, for a root shell. But does it even make sense? Why run a elevated su? Just run su.
I think some distros don’t expose or create a root password and make you do sudo su. I might be wrong.
I just delete every user but root.
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.
sudo -i -u user -s /usr/bin/bash
How else will the OS know I’m serious ?
“Yes, Do as I say!”
But rm -fr / * seems not to work for removing the French language pack. Can someone confirm if it works with sudo?
Ah, I see your problem, you need to add
--no-preserve-root.See the French are super into wine - and grape vines are notoriously hard to get rid of, so if you want to really get rid of the French language pack, you need to rip that grapevine out by the root (e.g. don’t preserve the root). Otherwise, the French language pack will just grow back harder and Frenchier than before.
Sacrebleu!
Mondieu!
How could I have forgotten that?
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.
root ~# sudo fdisk -l
IMO the “year of the Linux desktop” will come when distros are designed for people who shouldn’t even be allowed to use sudo.
Let me introduce you to atomic distros.
I moved my father on Bluefin 1.5 years ago from his antique MacBook Air. He doesn’t know
sudoexists. He has never heard ofujust. He doesn’t even command line. He hasn’t had to do a single update because it all happens in the background. He just… uses it.doesn’t even have to be atomic, I rescued my wife’s shit laptop using Ubuntu Mate (snaps booing in background) and she has never seen the command line unless I open it. It’s been like that for over a year at least.
Yes, but contrary to atomic distros, it’s not explicitely designed to be as administration free as possible.
sudo wineBlasphemy!!!
Sudo !!
👌👌👌 perfection
I came here to look for this.
So for all that time one could do THIS?
sudo man sudo
