    Does ’sudo gedit’ not work?

    If my memory doesn’t fail me it used to. But gedit isnt the default text editor anymore. The new one is quite cool and clean.

    It doesnt work with sudo though sadly. It’s not the biggest problem tho, just a small annoyance, using the occasional sudo nano to edit files isnt a big deal.

      I heard that it is safer to do sudoedit [file] instead of sudo [editor] [file]. At least it’s like this in vim. Idk about nano and Emacs tho
