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.
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)
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”.

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.
