Firejail is the culprit!
I disabled it and look...

It says [Read-Only] since I'm not root, but no more superuser on the titlebar

I think Firejail is the culprit.
2016 issue, but it is still possible...

Yes, would that cause my apps to show as superuser?

It shows me as a regular user, so why does it show superuser on my apps if i'm a standard user?





As you can see it shows my name across from where it says htop

So as it is currently, i'm running as admin or no? To my knowledge, if I have to type my password to become root or use sudo i'm a standard user. yes or no?

Also please let us know which editor runs with root privileges all the time?

I'm running 20.1 MATE

my audacious, xed, and other apps

Technically i'm talking about both.


Would someone please explain to me if I'm not supposed to be a superuser, why does both Mint and Debian and probably other distros install as a superuser???

Debian


Mint

The Linux Mint installer has never asked during the installation to define a password for user root, because the Mint approach has been the Ubuntu approach to root access for the past 5 years, i.e. you gain root access, if needed, by using sudo or pkexec only. Sorry, I had Debian on the brain when ...

Hello, overkill. Basically running more operations as user root than absolutely required cannot be recommended. Which Linux Mint version precisely are you using?

Hello guys. Someone has brought it to my attention that opening an app like a text editor or music player etc. shouldn't show "superuser" at the top, so how can I remedy this? If it's not supposed to be showing that. FYI...Anytime I install Linux from day 1, I ignore the part where it tell...

I have a theme installed called Ark-Dark but my software is still the default white color...How do I make EVERYTHING dark/follow my theme on my system? If that makes sense. In Mint it was simple, but not so much with Debian

Fixed! Now I need to hide accessibility and keyboard and i'm good.


It looks like it's hid in the settings, but it's still showing

Hi guys. I am tinkering with Debian 10, cause Mint was crashing so much on my old desktop, so I hope it's ok to ask about Debian here. How do I remove certain items on the login screen? All I want is the time, power options and name of my system, and my clock configured to normal time instead of mil...

Hi Guys. I just installed Mint Xfce 19.3, and I'm trying to install the Xfce goodies, but I get these errors below, and when I try to change mirrors in software sources, it does nothing so i'm assuming it's frozen and I have to use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to logout.

In the screenshots above in the imgur link, should I include hidden files/folders?

What are the best settings? What do you guys choose?

Hi guys. I just restored to a few days ago with Timeshift, and my current wallpaper that I added yesterday, plus all changes I've made to the panel or OS itself are the same...honestly the only changes I have noticed is Firejail is no longer installed, extra apparmor profiles were deleted, no more c...

Blends beautifully with 'Cinnamon' as a theme. Another one that looks like one could get lost in it. Like Alice through the wormhole . . Edit: Is that a standard Cinnamon Wallpaper? If it isn't - it should be ! :) I have MATE, and no it's not a cinnamon wallpaper. I get my wallpaper at wallhaven.cc
