I’ve been looking more seriously at making a permanent switch to Linux, as I don’t plan to ever upgrade to Windows 11. I’m currently running a dual-boot with Ubuntu Studio, and I’ve been trying to piece together everything I need to move my regular usage over....

I occasionally need to know the names of programs. I asked here about “Run as Administrator” being added to the context menu (like in Windows), and the response was basically “can’t be easily done”. an example is if I wish to edit a config file it cannot be done without accessing the terminal.
