This is a non safe for work, as in lewd, instance.
It’s safe to assume that anything you see here will be lewd.
Just letting you know. If you view the content and then pull a surprised pikachu when you see big anime tiddies, Judy Hopps getting railed or some furry vore… Then it’s on you.

Should that fail, some users claim they got rid of it by hammering the ok button.
Logged into GUI as root 🤣
The 90’s was a wild time…
Specially for people coming from windows, this was normal. The appeal of mandrake and corel and suse was this kind of graphical control panel à la windows where you needed root privileges in a graphical interface.
I myself didn’t learn about sudo until years later, and su just from debian 3.0.
@cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca I don’t see what the big issue is…
It was a serious issue back then. People were wandering around on the Internet with root accounts. A lot of #linux IRC channels were kicking&banning anyone with “~root” or “root” ident with educational sentence like “Do not use root account as your ordinary account, check instructions”. We don’t see the issue widespread today since distros did very good intended “dark patterns” to push users to regular user accounts. Linux (or UNIX) “root” account is true god mode. E.g. infamous “rm” as root joke (!) could even affect Windows running WSL2, so MS had to implement special workarounds.
Anyone with physical access to the computer also has full file system access and could wipe everything, even without password or technical knowledge.
It’s bad for other reasons too, like a script on a website would launch as root… And also without a password if your disk was encrypted your data is protected even if someone has physical access.
It is just generally common knowledge to not run around in God mode all day, otherwise sudo wouldn’t exist.

This is running in a VM without any internet access… that will end up getting replaced by another OS anyway
Oh ya I kind of figured, I was just having a laugh 😂
