Bashing-om, I tried sudo -H gedit and went to search your suggestion on pkexec which lead me to this post on how to use it: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/203136/how-do-i-run-gui-applications-as-root-by-using-pkexec#answer-203149 Both of these solutions opens gedit but with an extremely slow response to commands. Everything else I'm doing is lost due to stall, specially firefox, which I'm forced to kill. Also, as soon as I run them on terminal the fans on my laptop start an odd behaviour as if it's preventing overheating. Only stops when I close the app. window.
"admin://" is what work worked for me till now and I'm sticking with it. If you have any idea why this is happening I would be happy to know.
