It's because sudo runs as root, so it's looking for /root/.config You can use -E to keep your current users environment vars, but that doesn't do anything with ~/.config

You can try something like sudo -E HOME="$HOME" XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" command_to_run

Or see if you can manually set the config path via args for the command command_to_run --help or man command_to_run then if it does do sudo command_to_run --config_path /home/user/.config for example

Or copy ~/.config to /root (don't simlink because root could screw up permissions). Obviously copying is annoying especially if it changes often

(sudo could mess up the ~/.config permissions also if you do the HOME stuff above. )

I've heard it's because they invaded every country on the planet for their spices and decided to use none of them
