Why are you running it with full privileges? It's one command to create a user on Linux, and another command to switch to it.

It's better than nothing but is it enough to run potentially malicious code?

I haven't checked recently but a while ago most distros defaulted to letting anyone peep into other users' home dirs. Moreover there has been so many exploits over the years letting a user gain root privileges that, for the purpose of security, unix users are akin to a bathroom lock.

Yeah, no.
