Excellent video, but your first point is incorrect. During set up you can create a root password, but if you leave it blank the user has sudo access. It says in the blurb on the page.

Excellent video. Nice collection of important steps after install of Debian 12. Would you recommend Debian 12 over Arch Linux?

On my root account. Why visudo command not recognized? What did I missed here?

Interesting video anyhow, most of the commands can be executed in one line only.
