[SNIP] I normally use "sudo -s", which is the closest sudo approximation to the traditional behvior of "su" (before it was broken in buster).
I don't understand the reference to some "brokenness" of "su". I've not closely followed this thread so I may be missing context.I only use "su" when doing something in MATE terminal on my local machine. I do not use any command line options to "su". I just wait for it to ask for my root password. I perform a few commands and then close that MATE terminal.
Does this "brokenness" of "su" have any potential effect on my usage? TIA
