Ubuntu is bizarre.  Just go to their help site and search for topics like
run as root, create root, or admin access, etc... and in instance after
instance after instance the only responses you will see are admonishments
about using root.

Why do you need to use root?  Only experts are allowed to do that.  If you
have to ask why Ubuntu doesn't allow root accounts, you aren't smart
enough to use it as root. Anyone without a college degree related to
computer engineering, in some fashion, doesn't have the intelligence
needed to operate Ubuntu as an admin. 

I just assumed the distro was created for children who are just learning
to use Linux.
