I just recently installed i3 and im not sure how to open files as root, on xfce, i could just right click and open as root, but that option isnt on i3.

That would likely depend on what file manager you're using.
I tend to use a terminal editor.

sudo nano /path/to/file for example.

or if you don't like nano, install msedit. google msedit github , or see if it's already in your package manager's repos
