Fresh install of PCLOS Gnome
Typing su - in terminal returns this:
su: user - does not exist
using either su or su -l does prompt for password and allows root priveleges.
Weird. I thought I was going crazy ...

Is having this alias installed by default now a standard across all Linux distros, or just an attempt to stupify PCLinuxOS to make it friendly for newbies?

wasn't each genetic modification once an error? I am for keeping it..
at some point in the future I will suggest rename the distro in "NoCLI Ultimate"
