Dear Qubes Community, New Fedora 40 templates are now available for Qubes OS 4.2 in standard, [minimal](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/minimal/), and [Xfce](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/xfce/) varieties. There are two ways to upgrade a template to a new Fedora release:
- *Recommended*: [Install a fresh template to replace an existing one.](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/fedora/#installing) *This option may be simpler for less experienced users.* After you install the new template, redo all desired template modifications and [switch everything that was set to the old template to the new template](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/#switching). You may want to write down the modifications you make to your templates so that you remember what to redo on each fresh install. To see a log of package manager actions, open a terminal in the old Fedora template and use the `dnf history` command. - *Advanced*: [Perform an in-place upgrade of an existing Fedora template.](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/fedora/in-place-upgrade/) This option will preserve any modifications you've made to the template, *but it may be more complicated for less experienced users.* Please note: - This announcement concerns only Qubes 4.2. Fedora 40 templates will not be available for Qubes 4.1. - No user action is required regarding the OS version in dom0 (see our [note on dom0 and EOL](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/supported-releases/#note-on-dom0-and-eol)).
