Is that the same as sudo? That's what I've been using.
sudo is "super user do". The equivalent of Run as Administrator in Windows for whatever command suffixes it. Ideally you don't want to use this unless you have to, but it might take some time to learn where that line is.
What they're talking about is a gui based software installer. I assume it runs the dnf or apt or whatever commands for you.
Really?! I was told to always install programs via sudo.
That would be a correct use of it. Sorry, I assumed a larger scope. Package managers need this.
