# is for root

I have been using Linux for 3 years,

And I just learned this from your comment

That's kind of great, because root is not intended for regular users.

How can that be true when nearly every command asks for root, including regular system updates? E.g: Sudo apt-get upgrade

That's what "sudo" does, it basically means run this as if you were logged in as root.
