Don’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!

Look at OP, claiming to have that mythical girlfriend who will make a sandwich without escalating privileges
root ~# sudo fdisk -l
Blasphemy!!!
sudo wineYou’re right, just add
Sudo -sto/etc/profileSudo -ku
Tell this to my cousin (though he probably does this to gaslight me).
I normally disable root, so I don’t think su would work. Never tried, so maybe I am using it wrong.

Yeah I only use sudo once, for the su.
Straight to jail.
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.
… 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.
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 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.
makepkg won’t even run as root iirc
sudo -i -u user -s /usr/bin/bashYou’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.
fakesudo exists for a reason
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.
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?
