Dafuk is that tool. Normally you want to use polkit > sudo > su. You dont need a root account and VanillaOS doesnt even need sudo anymore.

This seems like extremely outdated software.

It's a Plasma widget that uses EnvyControl to switch between GPUs on systems that have both an nvidia and AMD GPU. It works fine using the command line, but this widget runs into this issue

You might want to fork it, replace kdesu with pkexec and see how that goes.
