What's the point of sudo?

A linux program can steal all your passwords and data, encrypt all your files for ransom, mine crypto, log all your input, give remote control to a server, but god forbid it being able to update your apps.

There's no point in doing anything as a normal user if it's your own system. Just run everything as root.

Having ''sex'' with men doesn't count as sex, Lennart.

You are just being mad because root refused to add you to sudoers.

Wtf are you you even talking about? How the firsts cases even relate to the latter? sudo is for executing a program with different privileges but it's not the sole way of doing that, if you have a program that can do all of what you stated without (apparently) having the right level of permission then there's some policykit and/or group configuration there made specifically for having the program in question acting the way it does.

its to prevent something like that from happening retard. if u lock down a machine then the user cannot install malware like that system wide. if it is your own computer it makes you think twice before fucking your system.

Never seen it. Wait, you mean Windows where that shit happens every single fucking day. Dumbfuck. We use Free software that isn't spyware shit and Xorg is dead and replaced by secure Wayland.

Sudo protects the computer from retardation, not malice.

Sudo is meant to prevent users and software from intruding on other users or changing the whole system without authorization
It's not designed to protect you, the user and your data, from rogue software, it's meant to protect your system so that even if a user is compromised the machine as a whole isn't. It's a bit of a relic from the shared system days but it's still useful even for single-user-macines by preventing dumbass accidents and limiting the damage rogue software can do
