"sudo su" still makes me nervous, it's like a hack.
Why don't use "sudo -i" instead?
I know that option is newer, but why?

    But many people still use "sudo su" instead "sudo -i".

    sudo -i: you are logged in as root (so your home system is /root)

    sudo su: you just look like sudo to the outside (by that your home folder is /home/name)

    @linuxer4fun somehow that doesn't apply to me.. sudo su has ~ at /root for me.😁

    @linuxer4fun for currents versions, sudo -s has same effect as sudo su.
