DmMacniel,

No you don’t want to be root or admin or whatever. You want not to have your external programs like your browser, email client what have you to run as root. You don’t want malware without the ability to intervene.

Not even under Windows are you running as admin all the time.

So perhaps consider learning why it is a good idea to run your user at low privileges.

And while you are at it, most if not all programs come with documentation and or man pages. To access the latter use the command man <name of the command>
