Yeah this one is ridiculous. There are some systems that have bounced my password ... literally the one stored in a password manager ... and gaslite me that I "must have forgotten my password."
If you want to add an existing user to an existing group, use:
usermod -a -G <group> <user>
I like gpasswd -a <user> <group>
I've had this one recently.
It gives you an error message, but creates the group anyway.
(some!) FOSS developers when you open an issue about it: works for me. Closed
(Disclaimer: I know not all foss devs are like this. Especially kde devs are awesome.)
Well, I didn't report it (I'm not sure even how to categorize it), so I really don't know how it would go.
TBH, I don't even know what project hosts useradd. Never looked that up.
Even if "isn't that bad" were true, it's hardly a stunning endorsement. I wish Linux aimed higher than "not that bad", but it always seems to hit "only some bits are broken".
