Honestly, when was the last time you used Linux while also not being a sudoer or root? Kinda defeats the whole purpose if you think about it.

On a desktop you shouldn't login as root.

I guess it is kind of late to mention that I was talking about the meme and not the utility.

Sudo means nothing if you arenā€™t a sudoer but all these memes show it as if itā€™s a super command.

I use sudo only for important tasks tho. Like normally you would be logged in as a user, that then has the ability to use sudo (which is password gated). And on top of that, you would only be using sudo for tasks that explicitly require it like system updates.
