is there a reason my user account wasnt auto added to sudoers on debian during setup

@lyncia isn't this the Debian thing where you aren't supposed to put in an extra password or it fucks this up for you

@lyncia if you set a root password AND a user password during the installation of Debian, then the user will not be added to the sudoers file

Debian is the only distro that does this and it's only this way because the maintainers are evil people who like to see you suffer

forums.debian.net/viewtopic.ph

@schratze you'd think they'd put some kind of warning on the setup process for this but that would require assuming weird foss nerds care enough

@lyncia you would assume that, wouldn't you

but yeah I have run into this same problem before and it's the main thing that turned me off of Debian forever

@schratze @lyncia It is also weird how many protections Debian does not turn on when other distros do like ignoring ICMP redirects, echo broadcasts etc.
