You just install
sudoand add yourself to thesudogroup, or do you thinksudoshould be available to all users of the system by default?What repos do you need to add? If you don't want to add a repo just download a release and chuck it on
$PATH(same for anappimage) or compile it yourself./configure; make -j$(nproc).I'm happy mint or pop or whatever exist, I don't care which distro or even OS you use, but the above is beginner linux (including reading docs).
Nonfree is usually something people are going to want to enable (Nvidia, Steam, Media codecs, etc)
You can install a nonfree image, but a person could argue that needing to know which image is needed is already more advanced than other distributions.
