Gene,
a. Debian or Raspberry Pi OS bullseye updated to bookworm?
b. Why testing/Bookworm specifically?
c. Your machine or somebody else's. If somebody else's, I'd really
recommend sticking to Bullseye as more people can help.
Q2. There probably _is_ a first user. If this is Raspberry Pi OS, the
first user will be user pi, with gid 1000
Users will only be added to sudo if you do so. if you set up Debian,
and explicitly say you do not want a root user / set a blank password
then the first user _will_ be added to sudo as a special case.
All the very best, as ever,
Andy Cater
