My user account doesnt have sudo despite being in sudoers. I cant run new commands i have to execute the binary. Grub takes very long to load with "welcome to grub" message. I just wanted a stable distro as arch broke and currupted my external ssd

    why do you want to use sudo? As normal user you can run most of commands. If you are the only one user do not need sudo, use "su" instead with the admin password.

      It's bad practice to stay in a root shell because it's easy to screw up and break something. That's why sudo exists… you only run something privileged if it absolutely has to.
