Hi, I wanted to ask if it was possible to somehow run root level processes with Swayidle. The reason I wanted to do this is to get idle time mining working with Xmrig, where it needs to be run as root to increase hashrate. However since the Wayland compositor is running as your local user I can't just run Swayidle as root. I've also tried something like this but I run into the same problems
