Support
1

after 1-2 years of pause I am back at whonix and now it doesn’t have option like it had before for running root from terminal

for installing apps and doing updates and so on

i am runing whonix in persistance mode, maybe in some other mode is possible ?

You gotta reboot into SYSMAINT User | Persistence Mode. There has been
a split between the regular user account and a new sysmaint account.
Sysmaint is allowed to use sudo, the normal user account is not
allowed to use sudo, from Whonix-18 on.
