From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian also doesn't configure root by default
You mean sudo? If you leave root password empty during install, it will install sudo
It would be nice if they gave the option of root enabled AND sudo at install, though.
True, but tbh this barely matters except the fact it's very easy to miss during the install
Didn't know that! Ty!
I didt try Debian tbh.
But what do you mean by not configuring root? Not configuring the root user password?
If you don't put in a root password, it disables root and installs sudo.
No i mean not configuring sudo when there is a root password in there.
