- Once fully updated, the Qubes manager should be in GUI Menu --> System-tools ---> Qubes Manager. It might require a current-testing update, since it's meant to be released in RC-4 version, and it doesn't seem finished yet. If you can't see it in System-Tools, then you either need to wait, or find it in current-testing dom0 updates. - In addition, you may want to consider to be careful with having to re-name VM's too often. This is because Qubes 4 instead of the typical plain re-naming, will copy the entire VM with the new name, and thereafter delete the old-named VM. I hear there is a good reason for this, but I did not look up the technical reason for it. Either way, plan ahead, try avoid to have to re-name in particular large VM's as it can take a while on slow drives. If you got a fast NVMe drive, then it should be fast, but on a slow HDD or even SDD, larger VM's can take a while. It's essentially like doing qvm-clone as you probably can imagine. - There are still bugs to look out for in Qubes 4 RC-3 updated to this day, although most are starting to be mostly minor. - Read the release news in detail when RC-4 is released, as with Qubes 4 the developers has started advizing us whether we can keep updating between RC-X releases, or whether they recommend we re-install again. Last time between RC-2 and RC-3 it was fine to just keep updating. The same may or may not happen between RC-3 and RC-4/final-version. - Qubes Manager is still a bit slow and sluggish. I don't know if it'll improve, but my guesses is it probably will when there is time available to do so. - Be aware of the disk discard/trimming in Qubes 4. In Qubes 3.2. we could do it manually, but it's supposed to work automatic in Qubes 4. Unfortunately it doesn't always work out of the box. You may have to dig into /etc/fdisk, Grub.cfg/EFI.cfg, and so forth, in order to get discard/fstrim working. Also notice that dom0 discard/fstrim is not the same as the template discard/fstrim. If it works in dom0, then it'll automatically adjust shown available space moments after removal, if you for example remove a large package in dom0, like a large template. However if you remove files in a VM that doesn't have working discard/fstrim, then it'll be less noticeable and you might not realize. It's a good idea to pay attention, especially if you got little drive space. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
