That’s all I use (for administration stuff), found out not too long ago I don’t even know the su password or it isn’t set up to allow users to su — dunno, never missed the ability until a couple weeks ago when I got tired of typing sudo for multiple commands.
Also found out a long time ago installing software to /opt turns into a big enough PITA that I’ll go to all the trouble to make an rpm and install stuff using the package manager. Usually I can find an old rpm script thingie to update so isn’t too much hassle and there’s only a couple libraries I use without (un)official packages. Why, one might ask, don’t I try to upstream these rpm so everyone will benefit? Well, I’ve tried a couple times and they make it nearly impossible so I just don’t care anymore.
