Is there a way to add "Run as Sudo" to context menu like with Windows?

  • I'm not a child with a machine gun, I just don't want to go to the terminal every time.

  • Not regularly, but the most common use I've encountered is text files used in various configurations.

    • Easily find program name from context menu/without terminal?

  • Nope, not an option sadly. Using GNOME.

  • It's just useful to know the name of the app sometimes. With ubuntu default options, "Text Editor" (in the GUI menu), is "gedit" for example. "File Browser" is "Nautilus". These things are actually not easy to learn if you aren't deep into the Linux world.

    On Windows, I would never need to know that the "File browser window" is called "explorer" to do anything with it.

  • You shared a guide on creating custom context menu options, which is not useful if I don't know how to find the name of a program in the first place.

  • Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I don't want it to always run everything as root, just on rare occasions.

  • The default, nautilus.

    "Run as Adminstrator" in the context menu is a default feature in Windows. It seems odd I'm the first person to want this in Linux.

    • Is there a way to sync todo.txt with Tasks, similar to how GNOME calendar syncs with Google?

  • Great idea in general to have a live USB laying around just in case. I should make one now.

  • And you know if I had actually given an answer he would have just told me why his way of doing things is better.

  • Thanks Zorin OS uses GNOME with Wayland

    • I am extremely grateful to everybody involved with Lemmy. That includes you!

  • I’m not the one upset here.

    My bad, didn't realize the optics comment was referencing someone's else's views. Who is upset?

  • I do think that the optics of the lemmy dev team could be improved

    The outspoken libertarian socialist who mods the big lemmy piracy community is worried about someone else's optics? 😅

    I love what you do, but maybe live and let live here!
