    Logging in as the root user hasn’t been the way to “be root” on Linux systems in decades. sudo/doas/whatever are there for that purpose and you can use those to set a root password if you want. This isn’t ironic at all and you have full control of your system.

      Do you understand the idea of how reading something in context is different from taking it out of context? The sticker is bragging about how Linux is better than Windows, but the specific things they called out are virtually indistinguishable from Windows. That’s the irony. They were essentially saying, “Pick Linux over Windows because of these two things that it does the same as Windows.” It’s similar to how your comment is ironic, confidently explaining something incorrectly.
