I’m having problems with Manjaro again, always after those big updates. Anyway, I’m moving from Manjaro since it seems it will not work (authorization isn’t working properly). I already tried Ubuntu before (used it for 3 months), but moved on since file management in Ubuntu is pretty bad (had to use terminal to copy files and format drives because system wouldn’t recognize me as administrator). I’ve been using Manjaro for 4 months and it’s really good, the update problems ruin it.
Anyway, I was thinking of moving on to something like Linux Mint, Debian or Fedora. I wanted something with support and with people that care for the code. What do you guys suggest? I ask because I don’t want to encounter another distro changing problem with my next distro.
…or start a file manager as root ?
sudo nautilusor something ?sudo nautilusmay not work directly, often X has some security rules set up so that root can’t launch GUI applications. So you have to runxhost +beforesudo nautilus, or use a dedicated tool likekdesu(though I think kdesu in particular is deprecated?).1) Thanks for this more thorough view of the question
.2) it works fine on new install of Ubuntu.
sudo thunaris also ok in there.
