Ok, I'll try to make a Fedora multimedia template and see how that works... According to the following webpage, the advice is to clone a preinstalled template: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/multimedia/ 1) Can I just clone the fedora-30 template and set networking in the new template to the sys-firewall, or would that compromise the security of Qubes OS ? If the last is true: How shall I instead make a new Fedora template, and install the applications I want in it ? 2) Shall networking in all templates be set to none as default, and is it necessary to change this when installing new plugins for multimedia manager applications which the user would like stayed installed after the VM is restarted ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
