Debian/Devuan: Use doas and Resurrect the Wheel Group https://ianlecorbeau.github.io/gists/debian-use-doas-and-wheel-group.md Quick tip for Debian/Devuan users: replace sudo with doas and resurrect the wheel group:

# apt-get install -y doas
# sed '15 s/^# //' /etc/pam.d/su
# addgroup --system wheel
# echo "permit :wheel" > /etc/doas.conf

Or, just switch to Ragnarok, it uses them by default.

For Debian/Devuan users who want to try it, a .deb package is available outside the Ragnarok repo, or the source can just be cloned and built manually (it requires Clang by default, though).

Users of other Linux distributions (or who don't have access to Clang on Debian) should just grab the source from Ibara's github repo.

In fact, using them to do extra workouts is often the best way to build consistency. This is a simple yet effective workout to do on non-training days (or as a training day for those who don't normally train).
