Nonsense. Ubuntu has always had a root account, and still does [see below]. By default the installer doesn't set up a password for the root account, but that's trivial to do after the install is finished. $ cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 18.04 LTS" VERSION_ID="18.04" HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"; SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"; BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"; PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"; VERSION_CODENAME=bionic UBUNTU_CODENAME=bionic $ grep root /etc/passwd root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
