For what it's worth, systemd emergency/rescue target only accept a root

enabling root.
1 systemd.debug-shell=1
tty9 will have a root shell, no password.

I'm curious what you find you need to use a root login for.
If I need to do more than one or two things as root, it's easier to
become root rather than type sudo over and over.

Thanks for the info. Does there have to be a home directory for
the obligatory root account? The tone of the discussions I read was
that root user was an anachronism, and linux would be better without

Well, closing a terminal emulator should normally sent SIGHUP to processes

Yes, I do have my system set up not to require the password for
sudo. It is faster than constantly having to type it, time and
