I found a (lengthy) guide to doing this but it is for gksu which is gone. I have to imagine there’s an easy way. I am running Ubuntu.

Except the question you’re asking is more akin to “How do I fold my lunchbox?” And refused to provide any more meaning to what you want other than “I used to fold my tinfoil, I now have a lunchbox and want to fold it in the same way, it’s not difficult”.
You’re asking something that you shouldn’t do, you only need this because you already did it before and broke a lot of the permissions in your system which by your own account caused you headaches. In other words you already folded the lunchbox and when it broke instead of stopping and thinking about what you did wrong you proceeded on asking on the internet what’s the proper way to fold your lunchbox.
Amazing. Yes, when I said “open” I actually secretly meant “fold”, a totally normal and common mistake users make when accessing the contents of a lunchbox. Everything is an XY problem!
Except you didn’t, that’s what you’re missing, you’re asking how to do a Windows thing on Linux, and despite everyone telling you you don’t need this you keep insisting on it. Your whole problem started because you ran a program with sudo, and instead of acknowledging your mistake and asking how to fix the original problem and un-clusterfuck your drives you double down and insist the community is being toxic because they refuse to tell you how to easily keep insisting on the error.
