Unpopular opinion:
On 99% of all Linux systems, you don’t need sudo.
It’s not like you have hundreds of users with varying levels of access logging into your PC.
Just use root for admin tasks.
Su often takes more time and is more involved, even if it’s a difference between very little effort and no effort at all.
For example, I update and install apps through CLI about once a week, and I’d rather just bang the sudo <update command> than go su, enter root credentials, and only then go for what I wanted in the first place.
su [Enter][Password][Command] doesn’t take longer than sudo [Command][Enter][Password]
And after you’ve done it once, you can just keep the terminal open and do all other admin tasks without typing sudo
Open another terminal (or tab) for user stuff.
