Always open as root?

I have to right-click in my File Browser to open as root (more specifically, any time I want to edit files), and I'd like to prevent having to do this step every time. I edit files a lot, obviously 😂

Use the terminal to become root and then edit the files that way. It's a lot more efficient than using the file browser.

I have no idea which DE you are using, but just run the file-browser as root, e.g.sudo dolphin. I don't recommend it though, for security concerns.
