Have used Qubes3 for a couple of years and now acquired a new PC

Base system seems fine - standard VM's etc - but everything by
default based on Fedora - albeit Debian and Fedora templates offered
by default.
Fedora template has lots of assorted software - that I could use to
add to various Vm's as required - a standard new VM using Fedora
template offers FILES, TERMINAL, FIREFOX and QUBES SETTINGS -
basically core features to get me started.
WHEN I LOOK AT THE DEBIAN-9 template - there is no software at all.
ALSO the DEBIAN-9 template and any VM that I generate using it, only
offers QUBE-SETTINGS - i.e. no TERMINAL, BROWSER or FILEs.
CAN ANYONE advise on what I should do next - assume if I get access
to terminal, I can install all software I want - but assumed there
would be a standard stock of software/base features available in the
Debian-9 template.
(Am sure this was the case with QUBES3)
Grateful for advice - my preference is to use Debian (as per last 2
years within QUBES and many years before that using DEBIAN distro)
rather than Fedora.
See awokd comments.
Problem is that I have nothing in APPLICATIONS.
Have tried Removing DEB9 template, installing DEB8 template and then
following the Upgrade 8 to 9 route.
This initially seems to solve problem. Load of APPLICATIONS appear -
and by going into repos folder- could change "jessie" to "stretch".
Then update/upgrade.
Still can't use the APPLICATIONS in DEB 9.
I'll try it again with fresh install - in case I did something wrong.
Another option - might simply copy the DEB9 "template" from previous
computer and install that - but wanted to avoid that - just naturally
want to have "clean" install on QUBES 4 on new computer.
Any other suggestions welcome - have others found DEBIAN-9 template OK
on clean install?.
I believe I saw this also, but don't recall if I fixed it or what
dom0$ qvm-appmenus --sync debian-9 or so
btw, which file managers are recommended ? Nautilus or Nemo , I
believe I installed both, but what I see available is just called
"files" ; IIRC in debian-8 it was actually called Nautilus or , sorry
if this is a debian question
or? .....maybe
qvm-appmenus update debian-9
vs
qvm-sync-appmenus
which seems to update more items but also spits out
Warning: ignoring key 'Name' of display-im6.q16
and icedove, and iceweasel
and shows *no Nautilus in the 'applications' tab to select over to
the right ......
