It wouldn't take long to put something together that does the basic stuff, but to make it as feature complete as the Qubes Manager in 3.2 let alone implement all the cool features we all want would take more time than one might think. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Just felt like I have to say that I would love to stop everything I'm doing in my life to write a proper Qubes Manager for 4. But I don't see that happening. It sounds trivial at first, but it requires a lot of testing and it will have bugs as the current one does. On the other hand, the more people demanding, the more likely someone would at least start something. -- iuri.neocities.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I agree with you, but at the same time it is very clear that the team are very resource-constrained. I'm sure they would love to implement a better replacement but there is only so much they can do in a day, and there are plenty of other issues that I'd rather see them work on. I have considered working on such a tool myself, but it's a lot of work and I have other projects I need to work on as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Remember when Microsoft got rid of the start menu for a lot of reasons that sounded really compelling and revolutionary in PowerPoints presentations and articles, but just annoyed users? Same sort of deal I think. I like seeing the status of all my VMs, not just when I go and seek that information out, but all the time. It just gives me more insight into what my computer is up to. It makes me feel more confident that it isn't doing anything it isn't supposed to be doing. It reminds me to be conscious of which qube I am in when I'm performing different tasks. I like having a sense that I am more aware of what my computer is up to, like I notice that sys-net's CPU bumped up a bit and maybe that alerts me to an issue, or I notice that my personal VM is taking longer to shut down than it used to, and maybe there is an issue there. And not just that. If I'm being honest, it is also because it makes me feel more like I am running a cool, unique, complicated OS. The qubes manager is kind of Qubes' signature look. It's I agree that the UI for it is kind of meh in 3.2, but that's mostly a graphical issue IMO. Personally, I'd rather see 4.0 have a qubes manager that is functionally the same as in 3.2, but with a more modern look. Darker, new icons. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
