welp, I still need to add myself to the sudo group and sudoers file, and that’s something I need a root shell for. (unless I always miss some options during setup to make my user automatically a sudoer)
You did. If you leave your root password blank it’ll automatically add the user account you create in the following step to sudo and disable the root account.
If you want to have both a root account and a user account with sudo, you’ll have to do that manually, but that’s a pretty unusual setup.
Have you tried installing literally any debian based system recently? Works without a single command.
Yeah but last time I checked I couldn’t play videos without enabling non-free repos
is that not just a checkbox when you install though?
It is a checkbox in ubuntu. I don’t remember it being there for debian although I used it a few years ago so it might be a new change

oh wow, I did not know this
Nor this, but you are right if I think about it.
Fair enough. Although technically the system works without that. Just not for long maybe?
Many other Arch based too, even if it against Arch’s philosophy. Just click “yes” and “next” a bunch of times and you are ready.
