Admin. account

[offgridguy]

I am the only user on my computer and only use one account, so by default that would be the admin. account. I came across this quote in the forum that made me wonder if that is okay.

i use an admin account and a user account. the idea is the admin account has sudo capability; my user account normally won't.

I have tried adding another account but found it was just more hassle when i wanted to shutdown.Is there any harm in staying with one account?

One account is the default in Ubuntu and, since you have to provide your password for administrative actions (sudo), there is a certain level of security, which seems appropriate to me if you are the only one how uses the computer.
