On Fedora 39, chkrootkit is packaged and has a GUI desktop entry

That does not work as it assumes to have root privileges.

putting a "pkexec" in the Exec= command solves the issue already, as polkit gives the process elevated privileges

Not sure if this repo even deals with the desktop entry though.
