@ryo @charliebrownau @coin @furgar And visudo, that's even more retarded, but I already knew that one. You need to use sudo to set up sudo. That on its own is already retarded. You have to be root anyway, to set it up, because you don't have it yet. Why the fuck do you have to use sudo to become root when you're already root?

Arch (and all the variants) is also very retarded when it comes to that, because of makepkg and the AUR helpers, that all run sudo on their own. That can be solved with linking, though, so it's fine. Of course, you should just be able to do sudo makepkg, but nothing can be designed in a sane way on Linux. Kinda hard to recommend doas to beginners because they will just be more confused, even though it's definitely easier to use.

Also, why the hell does it say that a command wasn't found when it needs sudo and you don't use it? The command fucking exists. It's misleading. It should say that you don't have permission to run the command. That's yet another horrible design choice that has always pissed me off. I legitimately just assumed that they replaced locale-gen with some new systemd feature, because that's what they do with everything. WHERE IS MY IFCONFIG?! Okay, enough ranting, or I won't sleep today. My goal is to eventually go full BSD anyway, I only don't because my files are stored in Ext4 and Btrfs drives.
