    Your request breaks Linux's security model. There is a reason that a standard user can't do the things you mention. And @music2myear .. they mean the dolphin file manager. Commented Dec 26, 2023 at 17:35

    I think you should not assume the true issue is the same simply because root "solves" all the issues. Approach each of your issues individually and solve that problem using the method appropriate to it. For THIS question, take a few steps back, choose one specific problem, do some work solving it, and bring only that question here. Commented Dec 26, 2023 at 17:35

    @SeñorCMasMas OP didn't specify. I did a quick web search and the emulator came up first. The base point remains, and we agree on that I think. Commented Dec 26, 2023 at 17:36

    Some apps, like FeatherPad in Debian 12, only ask for root/authentication when trying to save (root) files. A "Saving as root. Waiting for Authentication..." message and an "Authenticate... needed to run /usr/bin/cp as the super user" password popup appear (I think using pkexec / polkit framework). And Thunar (file manager) can set an "Open root Thunar here", again using pkexec thunar

    Thank you @music2myear, I just want to clarify that I am indeed talking about the Dolphin file manager. I should have been more specific and I have edited my question.
