I appreciate all the answers on what started out to mostly be a joke (the first comment, I'm not saying the rest was, I actually do mean my follow-up discussions and am enjoying them more than I should). ๐
Anyway, first I must disagree with sudo being useless in a single-user environment since some services have non-user (nologin) accounts as which you still need to run things sometimes, so sudo is commonly useful in single-user environments (though you could technically go set bash for those, I suppose.)
But yeah, I'm already used to "bad practices" as I have been using linux for 24 years now (when it still was it's predecessor 'pico' ๐ ) (I said over '10' years in an earlier comment, but I just realized I'm 40 and still calculated from 30. ๐ Wishful thinking. ๐ ) in what is assumed a bad practice, not only without any problems, but even because it never gave me problems.
Might be an age thing too, but I hold on to ease of use over best-practice, especially if it hasn't failed me in two decades and a half. I think it would take an actual attack on me abusing this behavior for me to stop doing it by now... And even then, I installed linux so many times in my life, even that seems more musclememory and not such a hassle anymore... ๐ At least I could make use of my backup system for once then... ๐
