Your post still makes it clear, which commands need root permissions, though, even if the user decides to. So, imagine someone is reading your post and they see that every command precedes with a sudo then the user can still decide to change to root for all the command. Especially in a tutorial or guide it should be always clear which commands need root and don’t need root. Now here, what I originally wanted to say, more or It is good practice to only use root for commands that actually need it. Too many cooks and kitchens, Thanks for reminding me to chime in on this topic, since I wanted to do that some time ago, but didn’t find the time and ultimately I forgot about it.

The commands (below) are the instructions I used to install and activate the wifi drivers. I hope the new instructions method work, as I can not guarantee, it will work. I used the Ubuntu Gnome 18.04 desktop, for this tutorial, and Ubuntu allowed the use of the su command to gain root privillage (a first I must note). I do not understand why you decided to change the command line instructions. Upon rebooting the drivers are activated, see picture No2 Now reboot your system and plug in your USB3 aerial.
