That account would be root. I've been using Linux for well over 3 decades. I've
had a subscription to at least one Fedora mailing list for as long as Fedora has
existed. I have several dozen PCs, each of which, except for one laptop gifted
me
that I haven't altered, is multi- multiboot. Only a small handful include
Windows.
Average installations on each is well over a dozen, with over 50 on at least
one.
I am their only user. Only one filesystem exists on each for mounting to /home,
and all installations mount it. Most installations are used for:
1-testing upgrade processes
2-testing alpha/beta installers
3-bug report QA
4-support for users in various forums where particular hardware is typically
relevant to identifying problem solutions that typically involve procedures
requiring superuser write access
Everyone who reports use of root user doesn't need yet another lecture instead
of
an answer to a question asked.
