Hi I've not tried 4.0 yet, but I have been running 3.2 for a few weeks on my main production laptop, a thinkpad t440p. And qubes has been working better than I expected, but its a big learning curve going from windows to qubes, with only basic linux skills.
I'm going to try 4.0 on a separate ssd, once I obtain one. But at the moment I'm still playing around with 3.2. During installation I selected luks encryption, which works fine. But my ssd is encrypted using the bios, so perhaps not using luks would give me better battery life, and cpu performance? I did have trouble shutting qubes down. And, I found the best practice was to shutdown all vms and system vms, first. That way I'm guaranteed a quick and easy shutdown, without any issues. The power manager on the taskbar occasionally crashes when being used, and I have to go to 'system tools' and restart it. I upgraded debian-8 to debian-9, and deleted the dedian-8 template from qubes manager but 'template: debian-8' still remains in the dom0 app menu. I've tried various cli commands to remove it but nothing works. I'm confused how to install unsigned packages, and what the best practice is. Should I install the package inside a new and clean templatevm, then create an appvm from that template? Or create a standalonevm from a clean template and install package inside the appvm? Also, the qubes instructions says fedora minimal uses 300mb disk space, but mine is currently using 1500mb. Which seems like a lot. I've probably got more questions and issues. But so far Qubes is a great! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
