Ideally speaking, if I build up my own system right from the scratch, then l ought to be in control of the root, isn’t that correct ??🤓🤓🤓

er, what exactly do you mean by “from the scratch”? and what exactly constitutes “my own system”? are you planning on designing your own logic circuits, manufacturing your own chips, and then writing your own firmware to run them?
@NaibofTabr@infosec.pub by scratch l meant installing linux os onto an old machine after cleaning up its entire past memories and then design it into a system of mine own.
OK, so you want to install Linux on an old laptop after wiping the hard drive.
Sure, you would have root control for that OS. Make sure that there is no BIOS/UEFI password set before you start, or that you have the password.
Do not use the root account for regular use, especially if you will be connecting this laptop to the Internet. Log in as a normal user account and escalate your privilege as needed.
I also highly recommend gparted for editing the hard drive partitions before you install the OS. Don’t install goarted, just run it live from a USB drive.
Do you know which Linux distribution you want to install?
