Do you have a separate admin account, or let your “main” account have admin rights? Do you require entering a password/PIN to install software? Just curious about where people fall on the security-convenience spectrum.

My main account has sudo rights and I type the password in whenever making root changes. I far prefer this to the windows model of admin changes only requiring a yes click.
Most stuff I install doesnt require admin anyway. Its only system updates.
Use an underprivileged account, create a separate account, then you’ll be prompted for user name and password when escalation is attempted. Same thing.
