system76-driver

Issue/Bug Description:

When launching system76-driver from the terminal using sudo system76-driver the log archive is stored in /root instead of the current users home directory.

Expected behavior:

The log file should be stored in ~/ regardless to how we launch the app with root privileges.

Other Notes:
This might be a case where my knowledge of how privileges are elevated within the UI is lacking but maybe there is a way around the issue.
