That's not what I mean. Yeah, getting the environment variables are simple enough, but if you simply exec something as the root user, whatever you exec will naturally be looking for configs in /root/.config and not your ~/.config dir, so any configurations to things like your text editor won't be read.

Ah, makes sense. It's easy enough to duplicate the outer ENV for the sub-process, but I don't know what that means for security and whatnot.
