From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No you don't want to be root or admin or whatever. You want not to have your external programs like your browser, email client what have you to run as root. You don't want malware without the ability to intervene.
Not even under Windows are you running as admin all the time.
So perhaps consider learning why it is a good idea to run your user at low privileges.
And while you are at it, most if not all programs come with documentation and or man pages. To access the latter use the command
man <name of the command>
