Moron disclaimer: I may not be one entirely, but I frequently emulate one. As a full-time Linux user, I haven't used sudo for years. Rather, I do 'su root'. However, I noticed several years ago (Debian) that upgrades would iterate twice, seemingly accommodating two accounts. Emulating a moron as I do, I never exerted the effort to learn why. I simply began, after 'su root', entering 'sudo su', which despite always having sudo disabled, seems to make me proper root. I'll often use synaptic package manager when I want a cleaner, easier interface to explore packages. If I only 'su root' it won't open unless I append .... something similar to 'pkex' to the end, but if I do 'sudo su', I can run it using only 'synaptic'. Regardless, I refuse to use sudo otherwise, even when I'm emulating something sentient. Be afraid. There are morons using Linux, and some are quite productive despite.
