Distro-morphing Kicksecure: Is adding user `user` to group `sudo` necessary?

I am installing Kicksecure inside a debian-12-xfce template, is this step necessary or can I just use sudo whenever I need to run a command with root privileges?

/usr/sbin/adduser user sudo

if you dont want to add the “user” user to the sudo group and give him sudo permissions then you can just open a terminal from dom0 on the respective VM to run root commands there:

dom0: qvm-run -u root <VM-name> xterm

I quickly read through this guide: Install Kicksecure inside Debian and it seems you can do everything on the cli as root directly (then you can skip the sudo in the install doc instructions).
