So I created a new user profile, deleted DietPi and disabled root for security.  
Now none of the commands run correctly, the only way I can get them to run is to do /boot/dietpi/dietpi-

I already cp the contents of /root into my home directory but still when I login I don’t get the banner and have to use the full path to run the scripts.  
Any ideas on how I can get this functionality back?

Did you add that user to the sudoers group? Especially before you blew out dietpi or disabled root login?

```auto
sudo usermod -aG sudo usernamehere

```

usually alias definition for DietPi scripts is done within `/etc/bashrc.d/dietpi.bash`. Therefore `bash` shell needs to be set explicitly for the user.

```auto
useradd -g dietpi -s /usr/bin/bash -m demo
passwd demo

```

Yes I can sudo all day, but it still looks nothing like the root login
