Hi, not sure if this is the right place to ask this, let me know if it's not.
Maybe this is normal, but couldn't clarify it by reading the Arch Wiki [1]:
[user@arch ~]$ whoami user [user@arch ~]$ groups sys lp wheel ftp uucp log rfkill http games audio users user [user@arch ~]$ groups user sys lp wheel ftp uucp log rfkill http games audio users realtime user
Why different outputs? Is it normal and with no issues? Should I do something?
Thanks a lot!

Did you just add yourself to that group? Groups are usually applied when you log in, so you need to log out and back in. My assumption is that `groups user` goes and looks up the groups in passwd for that user. While `groups` uses what's applied to your currently login session.
