New to Linux and need to add a user? Don't worry, it's easier than you think! This quick guide will walk you through the process. The core command is `sudo adduser <username>`. Just replace `<username>` with the desired username. You'll be prompted to enter a password for the new user and some optional information like their full name.
Want to give the new user administrative privileges? Add them to the `sudo` group with `sudo usermod -aG sudo <username>`. Remember to replace `<username>` again.
To verify the user was created, check the `/etc/passwd` file or simply try switching to the new user with `su <username>`.
Adding users is a fundamental Linux skill. Master this, and you're one step closer to Linux mastery! Good luck!
