Many thanks to you both for your replies. Based on what you've said, I guess as a home-user on a home network (not a public or work-based one), and the only user of this PC, the risk in using the same password for login & admin (using sudo command) is relatively low. However, I do feel more secure with having different login and admin (root) passwords and might set this up when I have a bit of time - if I get stuck I'll come to you later for help 8)
Do either of you have different passwords for login and admin (root) on LL?

2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
