Since most users are on single-user PC's Puppy Linux doesn't bother
with sub-accounts by default, you are automatically Root.

It is not a big deal to change that but rarely is necessary - and yes,
it does generally prompt for Yes/No when you attempt a significant
action that on other distros would require a special login as Root.

Have used Debian, Stormix, RedHat, SuSE, and a bunch of others in
the past, prefer Puppy.
