I see that Qubes does not announce planned new releases of Qubes, or
state what should trigger an update.
I am between updating Qubes with Fedora 32, which also means creating
AppVMs, I am not sure how I would update the Work VM, as it is, I am
guessing, based on Fedora 32. All this translates to my working with
Salt, which is shown a lot of in this forum. Meaning I should learn
Salt and some other things.
Just seems like it would be so much easier if we had an entire new
version of Qubes, which I could install. At the same time, I am making
+1 At least some kind of installable "service pack" would be nice. Maybe
such "service pack" could be as simple as some reliable(!) script that
performs the upgrades required.
sure any Malware I might have picked up gets clobbered. And leaving me
with the problem of re installing all of my personal files, my own
personal fixes to Template VMs. Instead many are learning Salt.
This question also comes back to making Qubes easy for Human Rights
Activists and Journalists. I do not think those two groups will go to
the trouble of learning how to install Salt. I agree that since most of
+1 Even IT professionals that only use Qubes OS occasionally might not
want to "dig in" that deeply...
the changes for Human Rights Activists/Journalists are made inside
Template VMs of (now usually Debian, or Fedora), that the folks who
create Qubes for us, should not concern themselves with those things.
Specifically I see the danger to do things wrong that might affect both
privacy and security.
So, anyone here have a guess as to what new version of Qubes might be
nearly out? Or should I start reading about how to work with Salt?
That failure of not having an updated version ready in time is a bit
like "We didn't expect Christmas to be that early this year". ;-)
