Is gksudo still in use or is it officially removed? It is still available in the Ubuntu tutorial: (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/BashScripting) and what would be the replacement for it?

Also what did the gk part stand for? Graphical?

Edit:

gksudo was Removed a replacment for it would be sudo -i

what does the gk part stand for:

gksu: Gtk+ Frontend to su and sudo gksu is a Gtk+ frontend to /bin/su. It supports login shells and preserving environment when acting as a su frontend. It is useful to menu items or other graphical programs that need to ask a user's password to run another program as another user. gksu can also act as a frontend to sudo. It installs a link /usr/bin/ gksudo, which you can call to use this feature. When using sudo, gksudo respects /etc/sudoers definitions.Linux Dictionary V 0.16
