don't forget anybody having hands on your computer can literally do all what he wants... including going root. Permissions are fake security on this respect
A visitor asking to use your computer will not do any of that.
who knows... on the most common case you will have to let him use your own account... who create an account for any visitor?
If it is for a moment, I let them use my desktop. Otherwise, no, I create a user. Or have one already prepared for guests. For example, some asks me now and then to manage her photos. Well, I have a user for her, even if it is me using that user, because that way her photos as fully isolated and I can use photo manager software that do not get confused with my own photos. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
