So none of my environment variables come with? 😐

I would fucking hope not. TERM is explicitly passed along as the only exception, which is the only sensible default for temporary privilege elevation in a shell.

Sudo also blocks almost all environment variables, with the option to set or copy them on demand. I assume that run0 will have similar facilities to propagate variables on demand.

PS: This is my technical understanding. Personally, I don't like systemd eating up all the other utilities.
