From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It sounds like you’re seeing a few different issues here and it makes me wonder if there’s some hardware issue that’s causing some of this or if the installation is botched (though it’s be odd for that to hose two different distros.
Last time I looked Debian didn’t include sudo by default, so you’d have to install it first. To add yourself to the sudoers group, log in as root and run
usermod -aG sudo mariah
(assuming that’s your username). Then reboot (logging out your user should work too, but better be thorough).Grub sometimes includes a timeout longer than I like and you can edit that in the
/etc/default/grub
file to something of your liking.Not sure what you mean about the commands, but maybe it’s an issue with your $PATH.
I don't think that it's the GRUB timeout that OP's smacking into. That applies after the GRUB screen comes up, rather than before.
Good catch! I completely misread that bit.
