I followed the standard settings of the installer which leads me to
have root and (a) user.

Now, i know there are different philosophies about the use of sudo.
Frankly, is there any relevant difference between 'sudo + command' or
'su -c + command'?

TIA!


    Hi emniger.
.
    su allows you to execute any command, and asks root password

sudo allows the admin to configure with fine grain what users and/or lists of users are allowed to execute with or without typing their personal password.

Even if you are the only user of your laptop, you may like to have some priviledged commands be executable without typing your password. Also, limiting the authorized commands brings you some additional level of safety.
