Yes, I know that the ranking is not a good metric of real world use.

Just posting this because MX Linux has been in the number one spot for a long time (2 years perhaps?) and it’s surprising to see some other distro on the top of their site.

Sudo is installed on Debian by default, but the default user is not in the sudo group by default. This is intended behavior and is different than Ubuntu or Mint, where the default user created during install is automatically part of the sudo group.

I dont remember exactly, but I understood the error as the generic command not existing when I tried it. I will check again when I can.

EDIT: Sorry, I remember now that I had been also trying alternatives to sudo and I can’t tell for sure in what order things happened.
