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.

I might try run0 for fun, but I don't think it'll replace sudo any time soon.
The biggest issue I see is run0 purposely not copying any environment variables except for
TERM.You'd have to specify which editor to use, the current directory, stuff like
PATHandHOMEevery time you run a command.Su - then
I'm not a fan of the idea at all, but come on, it can't really be that bad. There's got to be somewhere you can tell it what environment variables to use. Probably something like
run0 systemd-edit /usr/system/systemd/systemrun/run0-environment --system-default=systemLoL; you say that... But
run0 uses systemd-run i don't remember you can use that directly
You can't really install packages or modify configs on the host without root. Containers can only do some parts.
Alias it to pull those in automatically?
Maybe, but now I still need to remember the alias or distribute it to any machine I'm working on.
Not that difficult if you have everything managed with Ansible or similar anyways, but lots of people likely don't have that setup.
