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.

    I haven’t seen sudo installed by default on debian. Probably the comment is about that. When you start you tend to use only what is already there to not mess things too much.

      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.

      In Debian, if you don’t set a root password during the install your first user is added to the sudo group.
