Serious question: What makes Arch's package manager so "great"? I always just found it confusing to use. The flags don't make any sense to me. It feels like you have to add a varying number of s or y to get it to do what you want. I never found it to be any faster or slower than any of the others (apart from portage of course) out there. And apart from the flags it doesn't seem to give me any more or less trouble than the others.

User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

LOL, me using Debian for the first time.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

sudo is not installed. Check apt search sudo for possible sources.

I figured that out after a quick search. Thanks though. I just thought it was kind of funny how I found out Debian doesn't come with sudo.
