    I have been doing that for decades, with distro provided software,
    then stopped doing it because it is not polite.



    No security.  Root user.  No systemd.  No Wayland.  Root
    server lookups.

    It's the way personal computing is supposed to be.

    You are nuts.

    I mean LGBTQ is all the rage, Why not root user, terminal  and no security?

    I have no problem with people doing what they please on their computer.

    I worked on an AmigaOS where that was the condition of operation.
    The AmigaOS was designed pre-Internet and had no memory protection either. You did not sign in you just booted up originally from floppies and
    if you could find the cash buy a SCSI host Card and learn to do SCSI 50 pin termination.
    I learned a lot and it was a lot of fun but I had the chance and changed
    to Linux Mandriva in 2006.

    Always a possibility in this modern world.

    Yes. It's a well knownfact. He's got many names like Farley Flud, Larry
    Piet, Diego Garcia, Fabian Russel, I can't name them all, they are too
    many.

    He likes no one and hates everyone and everything. He pretends to be a
    master of Linux and a real programmer but he can't manage anything.
