sudoers

Allow wheel users to sudo with password and allow several system commands (like `shutdown` to run without password).

echo "%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" >/etc/sudoers.d/00-wheel-can-sudo
echo "%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/shutdown,/usr/bin/reboot,/usr/bin/systemctl suspend,/usr/bin/wifi-menu,/usr/bin/mount,/usr/bin/umount,/usr/bin/dnf update,/usr/bin/dnf update -y,/usr/bin/loadkeys" >/etc/sudoers.d/01-cmds-without-password
echo "Defaults editor=/usr/bin/nvim" >/etc/sudoers.d/02-visudo-editor

Make zsh the default shell for the user. 

chsh -s /bin/zsh "$name" >/dev/null 2>&1
sudo -u "$name" mkdir -p "/home/$name/.cache/zsh/"
sudo -u "$name" mkdir -p "/home/$name/.config/abook/"
