It hasn't come up for me on a Pi but on my Linux desktop I usually use
sudo. Usually to run GParted.

Just set up a root login and run your windows session as root.

Wel, been root since 1998, also on older vrions for pi
But figured things out
I boot by default without X to a command line
Tried some things before that in the original version with xhost+
and now I can simply as root from the command line type
startx
I did write my own .xinitrc for root
chromium now only wants to run with --no-sandbox.
A lot of shit stuff now also is gone, like auto-mount :-)
Needs some more attention, but now my X has 9 desktops,
runs fvwm, xfm, 8 terminals, same as on all my other systems
zsh as shell..
Much much better than what the distro gives you.

Graphical front for sudo so you can run graphical programs requiring root >privileges from the command line without becoming root and starting a GUI.
Not all distros support it.
The whole thing, including firefox, took about 500 MB to download for Rasperry (snap that is)
takes about 1 GB space on the SDcard... Then runs snapd..
Maybe I should compile firefox from source some day and run it a root..

It's probably one or the other of the usual reasons taken to an absolute, interpreting a SHOULD as MUST.
But if I type sudo su a the command line...

I think someone has already called you an idiot, I'd like to second
that, just in case anyone should read than and not realise what a fundamentally stupid thing it is to do.
