      I'm using RetroPie x86_64 on top of Linux MInt 19.3, basic install of RP.

      Whenever I run RetroArch to change its settings, it asks me for my superuser password which is undesirable on a system without kb/m as is my arcade cabinet.

      How to make it stop asking?

        You skipped one installation step, which says to configure the installation user to be able to run sudo without password.
