Linux users love nothing more than watching newbies type commands they don't understand. The sudo
command gives you superuser privileges—basically handing your computer a loaded gun and saying "whatever happens next is on you."
The best part is how the experienced Linux user is actually impressed when their friend accidentally obliterates the entire desktop environment. That's the Linux way—catastrophic failure is just another learning opportunity.
Remember kids: never blindly type commands ending with "yes, do as I say!" unless you're prepared to explain to your boss why the production server is now running MS-DOS.
