Hi all, I was fiddling with minimal templates and found them much less complicated than I feared. For example, converting a debian-10-minimal to a sys-net-minimal only involved installing two packages, attaching the pci, and fiddling with some preferences and services. Because of this, I'm tempted to take things a step further--Inspired by a line from this post <http://3rd, on my todo list, create a scratch template with even less than the minimal for these functions> by emily ("*3rd, on my todo list, create a scratch template with even less than the minimal for these functions*"), I'd like to explore the idea of a *barebones* or *minimum viable template*.
Some questions I have for the community: - How much more can one strip from minimal templates while allowing them to start and retain basic Qubes functions? - Are the current minimal templates really the absolute minimum? - Are there diminishing returns to increases in security by reduction that make this simply not worth the time or effort? - How would you go about probing which packages/functions to remove? (especially since I'm not technical--tech-savvy, but not technical) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
