What does "doesn't allow sudo" mean? Did you get an error that provided a reason? What exactly did you do?

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 says incorrect password, I'm pretty sure it is entered correctly
But what does. Be specific. Are you prompted on the CLI or is there a pop-up window that you're entering credentials into?
I dont use neither void and neither x11, but that seems like a common thing that should be mentioned in the docs? i think
I looked up void docs, the only recommended thing I found was enabling elogind :/
Try starting with dbus session. Also try lxqt-session and startlxqt commands.
I've tried
exec dbus-run-session -- startlxqt
Nothing changed
I also tried
exec lxqt-session
It ran a broken session with no panel, I tried to sudo from there but it also said incorrect password
What shell are you running in your terminal? If I’m remembering correctly, it’s recommended to set the shells during the installation, so that could be the issue here.
Both bash and fish are returning incorrect password upon trying to execute any command with sudo
Interesting, could also be the tty. If it’s causing you a lot of trouble, you might want to just reinstall.
Reinstalled the xfce build, everything works well, except my controller tho
I generally find this to be the easiest option if my system is giving me issues. Void took me a few installs before getting the right combination of packages and services running. It’s definitely my favorite distro so far, considering that it provides stability while remaining on a rolling release cycle.
As to your controller, look into the xpadneo or xone packages. Both are available on Void. Not certain they’ll work with PlayStation controllers, but I wasn’t able to find any packages dedicated to them.
Nope, xone ain't doing it, it's an Xbox series controller, but it could be related to my laptop hardware being extremely outdated idk, I should've tried it on a different distros, it works ootb on different machines running Arch and Pop
If you haven’t already, try using a wired connection. That should remove the primary difference between xbox one and series controllers. I’d also suggest using a tool like antimicrox to see if you’re receiving input from the controller. You may also want to look into what solutions other distros use for Bluetooth, as the answer could be buried in there.
I've been trying exclusively a wired connection to dodgr Bluetooth issues, the controller is detected by the system (it's creating a /dev/input/js0) and the controller vibrates on connecting but the LED is off and no input is received on the laptop's side
