Nice catch, lxpolkit works for me.

Yep, that seems to be it. lxpolkit worked for me.

Nope, rebooting doesn’t do anything

polkit-gnome is not available in dnf. I did install polkit-kde, polkit-qt and mate-polkit to see if it works. Same problem, sadly

A copy of my mind in a computer.

Yeah… I am so sorry but I’m just a beginner and all I see here is a bunch of jargon. I am trying the solution that @nightwatch_admin has suggested here at the moment.

Could you please point me to some sort of simple guide/video? If that’s not too big of a hassle

“Start praying for the souls of the poor Linux atheists and their leader Mr.Torvalds”

Yeah don’t worry, you’ll mostly be copying and pasting stuff from the Internet. Not much mental exercise, just follow instructions.

The Arch Wiki is an amazing resource, It contains tons of useful info that isn’t specific to only ArchLinux.

Yeah, it doesn’t :(

Yeah It’s more reliable in that way.

Still, I wish there was a something like a simple flag for the package manager so I could control if user data gets preserved.

I’m a bit surprised that that isn’t a feature.

(In Windows) If you uninstall a program using the “uninstall.exe” provided, you can tick an option to wipe all the data.

This is also available from the Control Panel’s “Uninstall programs” page. The “uninstall” button usually launches the “uninstall.exe” provided by the app’s devs.

I’ve never had this issue on Windows before

Thanks. I wish there was a more straightforward process though.

Every other OS I’ve used purges all app data after uninstalling, why is Linux different?

Me too, and I’m surprised how I haven’t. As a kid I used to pirate stuff from tons of shady websites without any antivirus software on an outdated Windows XP.

What’s wrong with lemmyworld?
