I have start to use “root” user alot 6 month ago and now i don’t remember the motivation

Otherwise yes… when you use root… you need to put the aliases directly on .bashrc files and all it’s work.
EDIT
maybe because I thought it was convenient to use various command without using the ‘sudo’ ? Really i don’t remember the exact cause
