OONI CLI and OONI Desktop applications have different home directories, different "upload spools" and different settings.
But that may be unexpected UX for Linux users. E.g.
vim
andgvim
use same.vimrc
file. Maybe there are other applications having same pattern for GUI and CLI versions of the app.I suggest to add some code to probe-cli and probe-desktop that notifies user about that difference during, for example, onboarding process in the app.
E.g. if ooni-desktop sees a per-user or "global" ooni-cli home directory li during onboarding, it should notify the user that ooni-desktop DOES NOT use ooni-cli home. So user should not expect ooni-desktop to manage ooni-cli spool.
