Default prompt as root user

[tarsiec]

Current Behavior

Right now, whenever I sudo -s in order to login as the root user in my shell, the zsh theme goes back to the default (in my case arch#).
Is this behaviour usual, and either way, what could I do to fix it?
I noticed that there's a Username module in the documentation which should default to appear when with root privileges, but it doesnt't show up.
In order to fix it I, with no hopes for it to work, created a symbolic link in the /root/ directory with my .zshrc, but this doesn't seem to work.
How could I solve this?

Is starship installed in ~/.local/bin? If so, the line export PATH=$PATH:"$(printf "%s:" ${HOME}/.local/bin/*)" won't work, because $HOME refers to the home of the root user.

Can you run eval "$(starship init zsh)" as root and have the prompt appear? If not, you need to fix that first.

Alright, thank you, I figured it out. Turns out I've spent all of my time running Linux without knowing about the existence of the /root direcotry. As soon as I made a .zshrc in that dir, and included eval "$(starship init zsh)" in it, as I'd do in my users home directory, everything ran fine.

Additional to this, the ROOT account default shell is BASH, and if your $USER is under ZSH and your ROOT account is BASH, you should change your ROOT shell from BASH to ZSH for you ROOT one:

usermod --shell /bin/zsh root
