Linux

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 PATH and HOME every time you run a command.

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=system
