In general, you do everything that affects *you* as your own user. Applications, your screensaver settings, etc. And if you do things as root, they affect the root user's settings, rather than setting things for all users. There are exceptions, of course, but when you think of it that way, first, it helps to avoid making mistakes. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.102.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 17 15:42:21 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
