2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Um... shouldn't it be:
Or am I missing something?
Use sudo -i instead, gives you an interactive shell without running the su binary with sudo, which is unnecessary
Edit: it's i not I
Thank you, that's a switch I hadn't looked at. I'll admit though, I'm on Mint, I have a nice built-in GUI that works nicely.
It's a really important switch for doing things like setting up wireguard, which has protected directories, you can't actually enter the directory for wireguard setup without
sudo -i(I mean technically you probably can with
sudo su, too, but this is more elegant and less redundant)My phones keyboard decided to capitalize, it's -i
Thanks, we suffered the same fate.
Does that1 security no-no matter on a single-user system which (almost) never leaves the sight of said user? Or is that just a matter of 'don't do this on a server'?
Sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get (-y if you want it to do it automatically) upgrade
There's also
sudo apt updateif you only want to apply the superuser permission one specific command instead of a lot of commands
What's the problem exactly? There are many ways to do it, and I think saying you run
apt-get updateis quite fine even if you're not explicitly saying that you run it as root. And he may not have flatpaks.
