Jun 27, 2022 at 13:11 comment added stanri For this reason I have alias su = su - in my bashrc.
Jun 26, 2022 at 22:10 comment added telcoM Might want to mention that this resulted from a change in July 2018, from the su in the old shadow source package to the su in the util-linux suite. This bug records the history of that change.. Also, similar questions have been answered here before: this is just the first one I found.
Jun 26, 2022 at 21:56 comment added ubuntu4life what the heck ..!? using "su -" worked! Thank you so much <3 now I'll switch with su - to the root user. Thank you so much for the quick answer; you helped me (and maybe some other people in the future) a lot!
