Quote:I've been doing it selectively for years with stable programs like thunar and gedit, without issue, foresee noneThose days are coming to an end, and there are several important reasons why, and it is not good advice to encourage new users toward a praxis that involves purposely deprecated software like gksu. It's about like recommending Windows XP over Windows 10. The often referenced mission statement for Linux Lite is to create a Linux software environment that new users coming from Windows can easily transition to. It's certainly counter intuitive here to encourage the inexperienced Linux user to use bad or deprecated tools. Go argue about it on the Deb channels: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=144101 but please not here, where the new inexperienced user is the most important.
