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.

For the first question, are you using a package manager? If so, I'd say leave it alone. For the second question, your root will likely still be bash unless you changed it yourself.
I use endeavour OS and jump between yay and pacman. I do believe that my root shell is still bash, too, since no trace of zsh is there
In that case leave the files alone for where they're located.
You could install sudo instead of jumping into a root shell every time you need to do root privileged tasks.
Thank you. I only ever jump into a root shell when I have to. Always use sudo.
