While I appreciate the new features in Qubes 4, the lack of a graphical 
frontend like Qubes Manager is a step backwards, as Linux is always about 
choice.
Can't someone program a very simple GUI which offers the following functions:

1) show all VMs with the option to hide:
- internal VMs (I really hope to get this setting back from Qubes 3.2)
- Template VMs
- all VMs which are not running

2) indicate which VMs are running

3) offer the option to do the following actions on a VM:
- start
- restart
- shutdown
- kill
- open preferences

Nice to have:

4) maybe also: attach/remove USB and Block-Devices

5) show an icon if an USB/Block-Device is mounted

I think that having the options 1 - 3 is perfectly fine, as this will make the 
interaction with VMs easier (also for newbies who come from any other OS).

Please don't get me wrong, I like the new widgets as they offer additional 
options, but a central cockpit to do basic tasks is missing.

I can live without additional features like performance metrics in Qubes 
Manager, but the basic tasks would be great.

Can maybe someone outside of the Qubes Team program this?
