I need some second opinions

You’re absolutely wrong. Take it from me. I am your average person with an average IQ. Whonix takes some work to get it installed and then get it up and running and I’ve provided an easy to understand user friendly tutorial that walks you through the whole process.

With all due respect, you’re 100% wrong on this.

Things seem easy to you high IQ people (and since you’re a talented coder you probably do have an IQ higher than 120, maybe higher than 130, ever had your IQ taken? Do you have a computer science degree?) but it’s not so easy to us average folk.

I am telling you you’re wrong here. Whonix absolutely needs a 3rd party tutorial that will hold your hand and walk you through the whole process.

Can you at least comment on the installation steps, now that is correct right? I left out the --oracle-repo command line option.

affiliation and reputation risk of getting entangled in off-site, off-topic activities, opinions by the content creator

I agree, that’s definitely a concern. At the same time, taking a stand on certain issues, though controversial, may prove beneficial later on.

When I see you pestering like this, I notice that I have a tendency to do this, as well.
Just do what you said you wanna do, omg. Stop treating this like it’s some scientific breakthrough that requires everybody’s constant, undivided attention.

I do this too, I must admit. It’s because he answers so casually that you quickly forget who you’re talking to.

Anyway.

So I can’t ask the head Whonix developer if I got the installation steps right in my Whonix tutorial? Like, I shouldn’t do that? So it’s offensive to ask someone else if I got the installation steps correct?

Do you demand a daily meeting with Tim Cook, because you made a tutorial on how to change the background on an iPhone?

Read the room a bit.

Test and verify your instructions work.

Hey Patrick, this command isn’t proper

 sudo groupdel vboxusers vboxsf

That command is from this page Uninstall Whonix

This is the output when I enter that command

computer@computer-System-Product-Name:~$  sudo groupdel vboxusers vboxsf 
Usage: groupdel [options] GROUP

Options:
  -h, --help                    display this help message and exit
  -R, --root CHROOT_DIR         directory to chroot into
  -P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR       prefix directory where are located the /etc/* files
  -f, --force                   delete group even if it is the primary group of a user
      --extrausers              Use the extra users database

computer@computer-System-Product-Name:~$

Grok says to do this instead

sudo groupdel vboxusers

and then

sudo groupdel vboxsf

Grok says you need to run each command separately for it to work. Here’s the link to Grok’s answer if you want to read it yourself https://x.com/i/grok/share/zMVgflHrPYpLgRQtnfBtUUrPG I fucking love Grok, it’s so handy to consult some all knowing AI that can answer your every question. Grok 4 is supposed to be released in a couple of weeks too. It’s nice to know these AIs are just gonna get better and better from here.

And here’s the output of said commands

computer@computer-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo groupdel vboxusers
computer@computer-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo groupdel vboxsf
groupdel: group 'vboxsf' does not exist
computer@computer-System-Product-Name:~$

And these commands were run after I deleted VirtualBox and whonix.
