Since most of you use your computer in a single-user environment, is there any reason you still use sudo instead of su? Sudo just provides another weak point to your system in this case since there is another password for others to get privileges.

Because it's better just to run a command as root than it is to become the root user, dumb weebposter.

I used just plain su for probably around 5yrs. But what I found is that I'd usually end up just leaving a root terminal lying around out of sheer laziness.
So this year I went back to sudo.

Although on second though, the reason I got lazy with my root terminals may have been that I have a super annoying to type root password (22 characters long all mixed up cases numbers and symbols)

When I ran Linux my root password was "password" and my user password was "ant". Security was the lock on my front door.
