It’s bad for other reasons too, like a script on a website would launch as root… And also without a password if your disk was encrypted your data is protected even if someone has physical access.

It is just generally common knowledge to not run around in God mode all day, otherwise sudo wouldn’t exist.

This is running in a VM without any internet access… that will end up getting replaced by another OS anyway

Yeah if it was on a real machine or if I was connecting to the internet I wouldn’t be logged in as root ^^;

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
