I would very much like some help to get rid of the password request for the basic stuff like installing an app or in fact for everything if possible. I am the only user and I would of course know the password so it doesn't serve any security purpose for me. I am referring to the gui actions only, not terminal.
I have already searched on this site and elsewhere and even tried a few things but they have not worked maybe because they applied to older versions.
It says edit my post rather than commenting so I will update here. I tried accessing /etc/polkit-1 as mentioned in one of the edits to the suggested solution question but permission denied.
