@eztuxer I have made a TOR PET package that might work for you. -> https://rockedge.org/kernels/data/PET/B ... 11.5.7.pet

I think you can run TOR as root since it's a modified Firefox.

Are you running 64bit Slacko 7.0 ?
To run as root you have to comment out lines 85 - 88 in the start-tor-browser script
To have audio you need to make sure apulse libraries are loaded
In Slacko64 7.0 there is also the problem of missing wayland dependency which can be fixed with a simple shared library loaded with LD_PRELOAD
There is a thread about this in the EasyOS section of this forum
I made a package of 11.5.8 as .sfs and did a quick test and it worked including audio, but I think it might NOT work in other Pups that do have wayland libraries included.
I will upload it for testing (for a short while) here:-
