I run Fedora as a root user - Please no lectures about safety or security. Simple question: Brave runs fine as a different user on this machine but is disabled to run under the root account. Where can I find (and disable) the line of code preventing Brave from running?
Chromium can be run as root on Linux OS, but not directly, because the developers deliberately block it by default .
Thanks 289wk. Yes I realise the developers have blocked access to root users, hence the question! I run Fedora XFCE as root and have had all sorts of issues with programs running fine as a normal user but not running as root. Pipewire (audio) is a case in point where if you remove the line: ConditionUser=!root from two places and then save the file and restart, everything works perfectly.
/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.service ā
pipewire-pulse.socket ā
So Iām looking for something similar in Brave before diving into the code myself.
Cheers
