Change current user on Ubuntu

Since the command “su” won’t work on Ubuntu, unless you change the configuration, you can use “sudo -s -u” to change the current user to the one specified in.

sudo su always worked for me…
at least as it applies to becoming root. I assume it would work for any user, though.

Shout it out!
