[Bug 1762864] Re: kate cannot run as root

[Ttt]

Ok, this is stupid, not being able to run an editor as sudo in linux is
just plain dumb, no matter how you view it. What's the point? You can
Nano, Vim, Emacs, Gedit etc. any file with sudo, why is Kate so special,
and why is it such a pain to just let it run like a regular editor, and
not throw wrenches in our environments?

This is to the author of Kate, while I appreciate the work, me (and
everyone else for that matter) would much appreciate if you just grow up
and realize we're not babies in no shape or form, we don't need hand
holding or whatever you're using as an excuse, give us a possibility to
install Kate as a regular editor. Some of us are hardcore linux users,
we pretty much know are way around our environments, and no, sudoedit
doesn't cut it.

Here's what I wish to you, I wish Linus makes a special version of the
kernel just for you where you can't sudo anything, you have to add some
configuration to "semi" sudo anything, but it will disappear after you
restart your machine. Maybe this way you'll feel how we feel with your
software.

Cheers, and I hope this gets fixed, and I can take back control of my
software, otherwise, please put a paypal link so I can pay to use "sudo
kate" and mark the software as shareware or something, so people know
that they need to pay for ordinary functionality.
