Gparted permissions - Debian 12 (sh.itjust.works)

Hi,

After messing around on various distros as a learning experience, I’ve had Debian 12 installed (via installing Spiral Linux) for a few days now on my old Mac.

I noticed today that gparted asks for the root login when launched and that my own user doesn’t have default access to any partitions I create using it.

Is this expected behaviour or have I messed something up?

Thanks!

Ah, just seen there is a separate disks app installed that partitions without this issue. So all good!
