There's many reason why it is and is going to continue to be difficult to do this: 1. All display-managers (excluding slim) default PAM rules disallow root auto login. 2. We can't use wayland 3. We have to use system-wide pulseaudio 4. It could break applications in the session. This happened to dolphin in plasma5 in the past. This is a growing technical debt, let's just use passwordless sudo.
