When trying to use tools that use D-Bus, specifically: systemctl --user, it will be impossible to control them via sudo. While there is a workaround; setting the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR manually, this means any configuration change that causes the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to change will have to be applied in several locations.
