    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:
      

      It’ll prompt you for your password and then:

        You’ve given me instructions that require terminal use, your argument is invalid. If it doesn’t either work out of the box or is immediately fixable without going into the terminal, then it’s not ready yet.

          if installing a plugin and typing something into the admin bar requries a terminal then every password prompt on windows is also a terminal.

          I’m not making an argument, I’m telling you how to fix your problem.

          Even if the instructions required terminal use, you’re on Linux. You’re not going to make it very far if you confuse having to use the terminal with a failure in the software.

          Regardless, literally none of what I said requires you to use the terminal. It requires you to install a specifically named software package and type 5 characters into the Dolphin bar (note, the picture).

          Counter arguments are not allowed on Lemmy. Especially this topic. It’s non negotiable and you will always be wrong or downvoted for being right
