      Because if you have sudo, you have root. Side effect of being a server system, too. During install, if you specify a root password, sudo is not installed. If you don’t, it is. Ubuntu just defaulted to the latter.

        So that is why I always have to install sudo manually 🤦.

        And I think older versions also left you at root, you had to define a user account manually. I think that’s not the case now as I recall (I haven’t installed Debian in a while).

          Yea I switched from Ubuntu on my past few installs to avoid snaps. Glad I did, basically the same experience.
