Doing sudo nano will not load your user configuration, sudoedit will. I had plenty of problems with this, but I assume you don’t have any custom configuration.
One reason why sometime I don’t do sudoedit is that I make a lot of changes to the config/restart service/see it works/edit etc… sudoedit only write to the file when exiting, so that flow won’t work…
for example when having adding a new host on nginx and some configuration and see if everything work (sudo vim/systemc nginx restart/curl https:// domain loop)
but yeah in general i’ll just use sudoedit (which alias to se for me) for my root editing

I just have a root custom config too. 🤷♂️ This even allows me to easily use different configs for root than for the user.
Made with ‘sudo nano’, fyi. 😂
