It seems to be even worse:
$ machinectl shell
Connected to the local host. Press ^] three times within 1s to exit session.
sh-4.3# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0
sh-4.3# whoami
root
sh-4.3#
so: ^]
Su is _much_ easier to type, and there is no restrictive time limit on how
long you can take typing it.
the illustration shows moving from user to root. $ to #
It is, as I said, very disability unfriendly. su is not.
