Can we get on openSUSE admin actions via Open as Administrator feature that is natively supported by KDE in dolphin
It is availble on Fedora , Ubuntu and Arch Linux even Rocky Linux has it , If it had so many flaws why would other distros ship it .
It feels more integrated in system than the dolphin-su file that is added in /usr/share/applications which open KDE in unthemed white screen which flashbangs you on your whole dark themed distro !
Before someone say it is availble on kde-extra repo ,that package is over 2 years old and installing it does not gives Admin access in dolphin .
here is an ouput of trying to run it via konsole
$ dolphin admin:///
Dolphin requires kio-admin to manage system-controlled files, but it is not installed.
Press Enter to install kio-admin or Ctrl+C to cancel.
Installing kio-admin failed: The packages are already all installed (ErrorAllPackagesAlreadyInstalled)
Please try installing kio-admin manually instead.
Its usefullness overweighs the negligible chance that it may be misused.
Please think about it
I installed via rpm but it may cause unforeseen issues in future ,
sudo zypper in kio-admin-24.08.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm

It should be available by default when user selects kde-plasma as desktop environment like it is available in kde-neon .
