    For anyone watching this in the future and getting errors in the xorgs-server-utils command. It has been removed now and replaced with xorgs-apps
    So use the command: pacman -S xorg-server xorg-apps xorg-xinit

    Pretty sure adding a specific user to the sudoers file isn't a great idea. Best to just add them to group wheel and uncomment the line below where you added yourself to give that group sudo permission.

      instead of running the command he did in the video, run:
      *useradd -m -g users -G wheel -s /bin/bash [username]"*
      Replace [username] with your desired name
      Then run _visudo,_ search for the the word "wheel" and uncomment the line that says "%wheel ALL = (ALL) ALL".

      Why it is safer? If I don't want to add my user to that group (wheel) it should be exactly the same. Can you provide a better insight to this?
