Over the last few days I’ve been adding Wayland compatibility to all application GUI by Kicksecure, Whonix. It’s in the developers repository. As soon as I completed the first test, I’ll move to testers repository.
issue: Does not support managing files owned by root, does not support gvfs.
Potential alternative: Nautilus, because it supports gvfs.
nautilus admin:///root/
Needed for Whonix-Gateway start menu entry Tor Data, /var/lib/tor folder in file manager (with root rights). (Useful to backup files such as onion service private keys.)
text editor:
Currently installed: mousepad
issue: Same as above.
Potential alternative: gedit, because it supports gvfs.
gedit admin:///etc/ld.so.preload
Needed to edit Tor configuration and other system configuration files.
Maybe sudoedit and/or gsudoedit can avoid use of gvfs / need to replace the appliation.
Should Whonix which for now is Xfce based start mixing with application from GNOME for the sake of avoidance of xwayland? Seems not to make much sense as long as Xfce itself doesn’t support Wayland.
This one, for packages from whonix/kicksecure, and packages that are not developed by whonix and doesnt has a wayland support and has no alternatives then only if extremely needed.
Yep, dont mix (gnome is a hell of a dependencies), any gnome should be kept for gnome unless there is critical dependency that need a mix.
