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. There is no specific use case, it is just a feature I miss from windows.

No. It’s ”you probably shouldn’t run them with sudo” , many GUIs need root for certain tasks. I recommend using
pkexecinstead of sudo, you can add it to the .desktop file and when you launch the application it’ll give you a GUI authentication prompt.
