    So if I have my computer set that it needs a sudo password for most changes am I good?

      Yes, that's my understanding. A normal user cannot do this. (And of course, an attacker shouldn't not control a local user in the first place.)

      Physical access is also a risk, but physical access trumps everything.

        Thanks for the answer. Unless my dog learns how to code I think I'm safe from anyone getting physical access

      Unless they find another way to escalate privileges... A bug, a random binary with suid, etc
