Thank you for explaining the differences between enabling a root user vs skipping it and the regular user without sudo.

I keep getting usermod command not found?

[docdaven]

how did you get into users from the desktop? I see everything in Settings, except user stuff

[cypher]

amazing thank you im a noob. Next time ill just skip root user setup.

[Thee_Squatch]

Maybe a noob question but, Is there a keyboard shortcut to terminal emulator? Searched the webs and nothing works. OR can I add a custom keyboard shortcut to do this?

[kev-zs]

Leave the root password blank and you will get root permissions on your user account if you fill in root you mite have to su (Switch shell to another user) I.E> root
Learnt from Chris Titus Tech (old video) Installing Linux The Right Way(Debian 11) watch the way you had to get the ISO to download how things have move on??

[Bruces-Eclectic-World]

Dude, this is a dollar sign $ and this is a pound sign, #... 🤣
Nice way to do that. I was waiting for you to edit the sudors file... Lol
Wish I could think of things to do after installing. My mind is blank like "Bland Reg".. 🤔 Hahahaha.
Sorry I missed the last two shows, Life is pain. Could you have TG swing by and pick me up on Venus, I need to leave "Bruce 1" for its 1 million light year service and I need a lift back to the Moon... Thanks! 😆
