Easiest Way to Open Files as Root in GNOME Files
In Windows, you generally get an option to open a file or folder as “Open As Administrator” in the right-click context menu.
That feature is part of the File manager, i.e. for Windows; it’s part of Windows Explorer. However, it is executed by the operating system and its permission control modules.
In Linux distributions and file managers, the situation is a little different. The different desktop has their way of handling this.
Since modifying the files and folders as admin (or root) is risky and may cause a broken system, the feature is not easily available to users via the GUI of file managers.
For example, KDE Plasma’s default file manager Dolphin recently added this feature so that when a root privilege is required, it will ask for you with a PolicyKit KDE Agent (polkit) window – as shown below. Not the other way around. You want to open/execute something via root from the file manager.

How to Create a Bitcoin Lightning Node in Linux - Make Tech Easier
One of the biggest pain points when using Bitcoin is the long transaction times. This can be frustrating to new users that are just getting into this digital currency. One of the easiest ways to improve this is to use a secondary payment layer such as Bitcoin Lightning.
