BECOME ROOT! ish... (Linux+ Objective 2.4.2)
With Linux you can escalate to root privilege in a number of ways. The traditional "su" command requires that you know the root password, so it's rarely used by itself. Thankfully, both "sudo" and "pkexec" can escalate privilege for a regular user, even though they both approach the "rules" from different angles.
In this video we learn to use and configure both methods, and I make it clear that I've almost never used "pkexec" in real life. But you do you. :)
