Greetings,
Thank you for clarifying the differences between documentation and forums, letting me know where I should sent security or bug reports. Generally, Questions about how to do such and such? Should be querried in the forum while verifying the build version, before posting. So: - Periodic security updates are not always rolled into the OS point version, so I must update those entities (dom0, templateVMS, or StandaloneVMs) individually. https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-domu/#updating-software-in-templatevms - if some documentation needs to be updated, I can contribute via a pull requests from Github at https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/doc-guidelines/ and follow it’s validation process. Ok thanks, I can follow those suggestions.
