I been experimenting with Ubuntu for a while now and have been installing and running all types of commands in my terminal which some have been giving to me from other people so I can install certain software or just add stuff to my PC. My questions are:
- Is it possible that people give you commands that can harm my PC or gain access to my PC for malicious reasons, like messing up root or take control of my pc or view what's on my pc or cause privacy issues, etc.?
- Is it possible by entering commands giving to me by others, I'm actually giving them permission to do harm or unwanted things to my PC?
- Is there a way I can see if I am in full control of my PC like Root or super user and no one else is messing with anything?
