I use a non admin log in most of the time while I learn, code and game. I have tried unsuccessfully to find information about this on DDG and google.
Sometimes I run into some command which requires sudo privileges. I do not know how to give myself temporary sudo privileges so I can run the command then step the privilege back down to a normal user. Is that possible?
It seems people get mad if I don’t include this so here is my inxi. If anything else is needed to answer this question just let me know. Thanks for helping.
