no a normal user doe not. but that's why there is su/gksu ordinarily you should be able to run the system perfectly with little need for full permissions. No, I will have to type the password a lot. Also I want full permissions in the GUI and in everything. ...

... many things could be a try it and see situation. Using older kernels on Buster. Have formerly installed archived software from former releases (gksu) and yep, continues working w/o problems. Might also focus on older versions of gnu/nix firmware. At some point software must be slated to being ...

... from the folks at freedesktop anyway. Apparently the file as regards gparted is exempt, polkit doesn't bother interfering when it's launched with gksu/do. However the case with thunar wasn't the same, custom actions such as "edit as root" for files etc ceased working with gksu under ...

That junk above was more some funny snarks aimed at the faction of gnu/nix users who are constantly harping on sec, sec, SECURITY !!! Privacy, OMG, OMG. Constantly giving other users the impression many things on this platform and using their OS is like handling unstable nitroglycerin, when it's not...

Actually would think at least its best to consider them or embrace this newer arrangement. Ah ... still see it as ...

Another popup, are you really sure you want to save? Cancel-no-yes, ... yes + enter. Really, really sure you want to save?...

One can never be too secure afterall. So came up with another monumental leap forward in security. How about a systemd timer unit or crontab ? Admin is logged in, ... Popup or text on screen ... It's been detected that you're using the admin account. This is bad security practice, please validate us...

Welcome, of course still working fine in Buster, no reason it shouldn't. Not like gksu/do hadn't forever. Still believe many of these changes are aimed at enterprise gnu/nix applications rather than overly relevant to avg desktop nixer's. Not griping, have to be ...

Thanks for sharing this

... 05.Adding policykit support Policykit is used for authenticating the user to do administrative stuff. It adds a nice gui option as gksu and gksudo are depreceated.Install policykit-1-gnome and add the following to the startup <StartupCommand>/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1</StartupCommand> ...
