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.

On the first point: isn't it possible to just go su and reinstall sudo?
Or does it not work with disabled root?
It doesn't work with root disabled.
The way to fix this is to boot in bash recovery where you land a root shell. From there you can hopefully
apt install sudo
if deb file is still in cache. If not, you have to make network function without systemd forapt install
to work. Or, you can get sudo deb file and all missing dependencies from usb stick andapt install
them from fs. Or just enable root, give it a password and reboot so you cansu -
andapt install sudo
Thanks!
