[Desktop] How do I open a folder as root?

[greenster]

Asked kindly:


As a Kubuntu and Linux beginner, I am wondering how I can open a folder as root with Dolphin. Specifically, this one: /snap/vivaldi/322/opt/vivaldi/vivaldi


I would like to insert two files there, window.html and custom.js.

I don't use snaps, but I think you can't do that, or at least it would be wiped out by an update and/or might break the snap. The purpose of snaps is to not allow or require user intervention or editing.

I've been using Vivaldi for years and am very happy with it. I suggest removing the Vivaldi snap and installing Vivaldi from source if you want/need to make custom changes: https://vivaldi.com/download/
