This is a guide on how to create a user with sudo privileges in Ubuntu. Instead of modifying system files, the guide suggests using three simple commands: "sudo su" to login with a user that has sudo privileges, "adduser new_username" to create a new user, and "usermod -aG sudo new_username" to add the new user to the sudo group.

I'm tired of the copied and pasted strategies I found online, which involve modifying system files to grant sudo privileges. It's ridiculous. In fact, it can be done in just three steps.

First, log in to the system with a user account that has sudo privileges:

Run the following command:

sudo su

Then, run the following command:

adduser new_username

You will be prompted to set a password, but you can simply press Enter to skip filling in the specific information.

Finally, run the following command:

usermod -aG sudo new_username

And you're done!
