The Desktop Linux equivalent to that would be Polkit. Psst. There's also this, in typical KDE style: https://github.com/aeroshell-desktop/uac-polkit-agent

Note: this only applies if the `--link` flag is used with `pg_upgrade` (which, I recommend), but the default is to copy all data.

> You can run rootless containers or you can use containerization like Podman which does not run as root. Yes, now you get my point. Do you run rootless containers (with the Docker backed) or do you run "root" containers?

Interesting. I belong to the class of people who believe in customising their tools as they please. So I'd have written an Emacs package to do this. But then again, this is Emacs, so someone's probably already done it. Oh, here it
