Hi! Love your console colors! (Feel free to share! 😊) Question.

Do you have nano.exe in your $env:PATH ? Can you please paste the result of Get-Command 'nano'?

Or maybe... have you created a nano function in your $PROFILE? Assuming that last answer is true.: When you do gsudo nano and a new pwsh.exe -c "nano" -noprofile is run... it's unable to find 'nano' because the profile is not loaded, and nano.exe is not in the path.

You can tell gsudo to load the powershell profile with gsudo config PowerShellLoadProfile true. If your profile loads too slowly to load it on each elevation, you could add nano's path to $PATH.

makes sense?

gsudo config PowerShellLoadProfile true is solve this problem, profile is loaded fast so no problem, thanks.
