 I actually know how to use computers, you know. I've just never had the opportunity.

 I know that you know. Still it is tempting. 
Sudo is enough for the most cases though.

 The only time I've used root was to set up new users on our project's remote server, and then I gave  @finrod root access and backed away, slowly.

Nobody died. 🤣

 Yes that's a case for root. 
Now it's relax on sudo time. Better still a live usb for surfing. Vm also
