Staudey I'm sorry about this badly worded question. I think what I ran into was perhaps a difference between the intial sudo setup between my old Solus Budgie and my new Solus Gnome setup.
And while I dont remember actually altering it in my old setup, I cant 100% say I haven't.
But the difference could perhaps also be between and older but updated Solus and a freshly installed Solus? Perhaps some things have changed in the last couple of years in how the initial sudo setup is?
