So I just fixed my Arch KDE install this morning (I broke plasma after an update) and now I have an issue with sudo. It simply doesn't do anything when I use it manually in the terminal and when I use yay, it gives an exec format error for the sudo file. After checking on the file using both the file command and kate. Both say that the file is empty. Is that supposed to be the case? If not, how do I fix it?

It depends on what you have installed and what you do with your device. I just so happen to do a ton of stuff and have way too many packages installed. The big difference is that you don't have to restart with Arch, meaning you might not know when something broke until it loads up the new code later.

And you don't have to reinstall from scratch either -- you can just fix it, which is very nice. 🙂
