Notes

  • Disks. Opening a disk (File → Open a disk) needs administrator (root) rights. Files open without them.
  • Display. AltHex needs X11. It runs under Wayland through XWayland, which GNOME and KDE have. glibc-based distributions only (not Alpine).
  • Uninstall. Packages are removed with the package manager. The quick install adds Uninstall to the menu entry (right-click) and leaves ~/.altbins/.althex-uninstall.sh.
