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.

    On the windows gaming machine, I let it do its own thing with UAC clickthroughs basically just notifying me when something is making system changes.

    On Linux, I have a separate root password and use some combination of su, kdesu, yast, or whatever, but I never log in as root directly. I don’t game that much on Linux (that machine is lacking in graphics horsepower), but things like EU4 work well enough.
