    Honestly, not being able to run Dolphin as root made me feel like my PC wasn’t mine more than anything windows did up until recently.

    Your computer is yours… As long as you’re comfortable doing it via terminal… Yay…

      That’s been fixed for nearly 2 years now.

      Install

      kio-admin
      

      Then in the location bar type:

      admin:

      I much prefer using the terminal than the GUI if I can.

      But I understand that not everyone likes the terminal.

      To be fair, I couldn’t tell you how to run my file manager as root from the GUI because I don’t use it that much.
