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.

Log out and then log in again.

Thanks a lot, everybody. You were right. I'm an ignorant. But also a lazy and impatient ignorant: "If the user is currently logged in, he must log out and in again for the change to take effect.", says a little below... Have a nice day and thanks again!
