I use cinnamon environment. I would like to use root password but I cannot. I would like to add current user to root users.

Hi petrherynk!

You can add a user to the sudo group (as root) by:

usermod -G sudo -a <user>

But be aware of the security implications of using sudo. Because of this most core team members won't recommend using sudo (though I use it and can't complain so far).

But as (almost) always here, in the end it's up to the user how he/she wants to destroy his/her system... ;)

Thank you very much.
