Review of PCLinuxOS

Have had a couple request for how to enable sudo on PCLinuxOS.
1. go to synaptic package manager and install sudo.
2. open file manager as Root (su ) dolphin or other depending on your Desktop.
3. Navigate to /etc/sudoers file open it.
4. Scroll down the file and find this line.
Add a line under it.
save the file.
Next time you want to do something as administrator simply type sudo (whatever you want to do) It will ask you for your users password.
Good luck.
P.S. this also works with Debian but you do not have to install sudo as it's already installed.
if you like a terminal reference when typing your password you can also find the line in the same file
that looks like this
and change it to this
save the file.
Next time you type sudo and enter your password it will show a series of ************** when you type it in.

No did not have to configure monitor I'm using a laptop with Debian 12 everything worked pretty much out of the box.
Thanks for the confirmation.
