I just installed debian and i have many problems
My user account doesnt have sudo despite being in sudoers. I cant run new commands i have to execute the binary. Grub takes very long to load with "welcome to grub" message. I just wanted a stable distro as arch broke and currupted my external ssd

Debian's got a sudo group, not a wheel group.
EDIT: Oh, I see what you mean. Arch might use the wheel group and Debian the sudo group, and if he just copied his Arch sudoers file over his Debian one, it would reference the wheel group and wouldn't work.
googles
Yeah, Arch has wheel.

EDIT2: I bet he tried to add his user account explicitly to /etc/sudoers rather than just adding the account to the sudo group and just got the syntax wrong in one way or another, as the syntax of sudoers isn't terribly intuitive.
In english you can use "they" if you dont know the persons pronouns ;D also pretty sure OP is female
But valid point, Debian is weird
You can, but you can also use "he", as English has a masculine generic.
I think that most Linux distros are based on Debian these days, as Fedora, the other major "parent" distro, seems not to be doing super-well, so I'd guess that most distros are probably using the sudo group.

Slackware looks not very alive these days, so I don't think that there's much going on with the child distros there any more.
