How can I permanently grant root access to a user? [duplicate]

How do I grant sudo privileges to an existing user?

I've been searching for the answer to this but all I find is "It's not a good idea" or "We don't recommend it" and some work around solution is given...

I am a new, yes. There is a good chance I could break stuff, I know. I am happy to break my OS and format it many times if it comes to that but restrictions of ANY kind on my OS enrage me. I want to be able to break stuff if I want, then learn how I broke it and how to fix it.

I want the safety locks off.

Please tell me how to grant a user absolute authorisation.

To give the user "foo" unlimited passwordless access to root privileges via the sudo command, edit /etc/sudoers and add the line:

foo   ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL

See sudo(8) and sudoers(5) for more information.

As was suggested elsewhere, if you know how to use vi then it's a good idea to use visudo to edit /etc/sudoers.

It is not you who is being restricted (as long as you can sudo or login as root on the command-line), but it is rather every single application you run that is being restricted.

If you give yourself root privileges, every application you run also gains complete power over your computer. That is the restriction, and saying you don't want any restrictions placed over you is like saying you do not want to lock your bike or your door, for it places a restriction upon yourself.

I am amazed no one as of yet has tried to offer you that insight.
