Whenever I run any command line tools without sudo, they take the settings as in ~/.config and work fine. But whenever I run the same CLI tools with same parameters but with sudo, it falls back to default setting. How can I make this behavior consistent?

    I run commands as the root user so I use the root users configs. Usually that’s in /root/.config/ but it might be different in NixOS.

    You’ll have to either copy your configs over to the root users config dirs. I highly recommend auditing what you copy though for security.
