The GNOME session is a user session, but when working with the terminal
emulation I sometimes have to edit files as root.

Btw. years ago Suse enabled root DE sessions for default installs, they
dropped it. I don't understand what's bad with a root session. Not
everybody needs a secure system, because some workstations are neither
multi user, nor connected to the Internet and some people prefer a GUI
for file management etc.. Btw. even as user I prefer cd, ls, but
Nautilius.

Linux can be used for different needs, as an audio user, for me most
distros are a PITA.
A long time the audio community hoped that D-Bus and PulseAudio won't
become standard for default installs. Regarding to D-Bus a lot of people
changed their minds, since they switched from scripts to GUI session
handlers, but PulseAudio still is a PITA, fortunately Debian allows me
not to use PulseAudio.
