If it was me I would just install Pluma and be done with it.
anyway, dedoimedo is kinda smart and a newfound KDE fanboi

Hi all,
Some time ago somebody decided that Dolphin was too dangerous when
being used as root. (Don't lecture me on using sudo and not su.) My
hobby work load is not subjected to any security problems, I am behind
a pretty good firewall and I am a single user. I have to switch
between user and root files a lot and the use of sudo is a pain you
know where. For many reasons Dolphin was my goto package especially
when copying or moving root files. I understand that the fury over the
above change was so great that the developers backed off. To date I
have not found a way to log in my Dolphin package as root. I am using
KDE 5.14.5 desktop with Debian Buster and an AMD-64 processor.
There are a lot of forum entries telling how to correct the problem on
Ubuntu but none of them work on Debian (missing software packages).
Can anyone tell me how to setup Dolphin for root use again. I have my
Icon set up to ask for root login but the system won't allow its use.
