Thanks for the feedback, the most annoying thing was the non-resizable window, specifically when using a tiling window manager. Still I think dropping Qubes Manager totally is a not the best solution as everyone who didn't like Qubes Manager had the choice to close it or not use it at all. All other users who could live with the above 'problems' and would like to use Qubes Manager or something similar are now lost. As mentioned I understand if Qubes Team thinks (!) that Qubes Manager is not that good and that they drop support for it, but I just a bad taste as it currently seems that the loss of Qubes Manager is trying to be sold as a good feature. It's not. Users should always have the choice, that's what is so great about Linux. Thereof I just want to raise my voice that a replacement for Qubes Manager (maybe with less options) would be great. I'm fine with using the CLI to setup machines. Change complicated options etc. but for daily use Qubes Manager was great. Maybe we should start to collect voices to bring a Qubes GUI App back to 4.0. Thereof: My vote for Qubes GUI-Manager. Willing to pay 40 eur for a good replacement. Who is joining this "campaign"? Maybe someone likes to program this, if we throw in some budget.
