Summary
It looks like the wheel group is created unconditionally during install.
It also looks like it is created as a normal user group (gid = 1001) after the primary install user's group is created (named after the user) with gid = 1000.
Steps to reproduce
Install an ISO, create a single admin user, reboot
After first boot, check getent group wheel in a terminal; it will output wheel:x:1001
Expected result
Either the wheel group shouldn't exist (Solus uses the sudo group like Debian does) XOR the wheel group should be a system group (GID <1000)
Actual result
getent group wheel outputs wheel:x:1001
Environment
Is system up to date?

I suspect the reason this is created is due to the uncommented greetd lines here.
If those lines were either changed/commented out/removed, I suspect the issue would not present.
EDIT: I tested the above, and that was not it. Also, this is apparently present on existing installs, so it is likely something else.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
I don't believe we use greetd in any edition, so I don't think it's that that. Further, I see nothing in the Calamares code that creates any group unconditionally; everything is set from the Users module config file.
