remote access
if someone on my home network has my root password of my fedora 28 workstation
can he gain remote access to my pc ?
my ssh and telnet are disable, can he still gain access ?

If you are sure ssh and telnet are disable or that your firewalld is blocking all ports he should not be able to access your pc. Make sure your firewall close all ports, best way to do so, is to use another machine and scan your machine with nmap -v -Pn your_machine_ip
Good Luck

You never know for sure. I faced with similar issue a few months ago. Since that time I always use proxy from here https://buy.fineproxy.org/eng/ to hide my real ip and protect my privacy. today it's the only way to protect my data from online snoopers.

You mean only remotely, or does the someone have physical access to the machine? Is the HDD encrypted?
