I’m sorry, I made a new thread but it was the second in a row that didn’t get any replies. After a few days of searching everywhere for someone with a similar issue I was getting a little desperate.
I read “administrator” under the account type section in the kde user settings. It should mean I have sudo.
In the end I went for the nuclear option and made a fresh install, thanks for your answer though.
If you’re curious about my issue here’s my thread
