Because there is a difference in having a Konsole open as root and |
| 17 |
browsing the internet, editing images with GIMP, checking my emails, |
| 18 |
playing a card game and other things that don't require a root Konsole. |
| 19 |
I keep the Konsole open for those things that commonly need/require root |
| 20 |
privileges such as editing config files, running scripts in /root, |
| 21 |
backups and a few other things. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Each has its use. I use each one for what I need to get things done. |
