When a link to this wiki page is posted, it means the question or issue raised is unspecific to Whonix ™. The upside is it can possibly be resolved by utilizing different search terms, documentation or various websites. Reasonable search efforts are likely to yield more diverse options, information, opinions, expertise, alternative solutions, and possible workarounds.
In other words, it is highly likely that issues or questions can be solved by extending web search options. Quote Self Support First Policy:
In simple terms, Whonix ™ is based on: [1]
- A supported platform (Debian
).
- Two software packages produced by The Tor Project (TPO)
- Tor
and Tor Browser.
- A host of other software packages.
It is impossible for the Whonix ™ contributors to be aware of the solution to each and every problem that is encountered. Users are therefore encouraged to first consider if their problem is general, and unspecific to Whonix ™.
Rephrasing the question, removing the Whonix ™-specific component, or utilizing other resources might result in more information. Further, sometimes questions are unlikely to be answered in Whonix ™ Support channels due to Developer Constraints.
