That's already how all the documentation (and, indeed, all the website content) works. :) https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/doc-guidelines/ > some examples are: > https://twitter.com/rootkovska/status/832571372085850112 Useful > trick: start Windows template VM (which has no user data), > install/upgrade apps; then start Windows AppVM (w/ data) in > offline mode.
