Cool. I am aware that FPF does training
for journalists, but not to what extent. I will reach out to them
to see what is already being provided.
In the meantime, I will do my homework on salt to see if I can contribute.

There is a ticket opened on qubes for personas. Time to poke and make Freedom Of Press foundation into this. And tailor salt recipes to be deployed for those personas.
My 2 cents

It actually is my intention to come up with a list of tweaks that a less tech-savvy journalist could benefit from.I am not versed in customizing or automating Linux installs via scripts, but a motivated designer could engineer such a tool for a more visually appealing turn-key installation that is closer to "just works" than the "hack it to perfection" experience most of us have had with Qubes. The matter exists that Qubes is a completely different way of computing, though. A structured training program may be beneficial to these groups. If an organization or group were created to promote the use of Qubes and provide custom tools and training to journalists this could be quite a benefit to the community as a whole. What would it take to get a working group together for this? I'm definitely interested in working on something like it.

It is to find out what has been discussed in the past about this subject, and for some of you, who are more experienced with QUBE's, and investigators, to put that list together, and perhaps build that list into the basic Install of QUBE's.Hi Catacombs, your points are valid. One thing I am aware of is the the Freedom of the Press Foundation is using Qubes and that there is at least one UX designer thinking about usability and contributing actively to Qubes. You will see these improvement over time. Another thing all of us "techno geeks" can do in the meantime is to monitor this mailing list and maybe even the IRC channel and help as many users as possible. I think the standard Fedora template has a pretty solid list of default apps installed. But for sure there could be more tutorial style videos, better documentation, maybe even tailored templates. I don't know what a Journalist needs - do you? To some degree I think the core Qubes team wants to stay out of the 'what should be included in the default template' discussion as there are as many opinions as discussion participants. There is even an FAQ entry about it: https://www.qubes-os.org/faq/#could-you-please-make-my-preference-the-default I understand this is not exactly what you asked for and a GUI text editor and a video player are pretty standard things. I am surprised they weren't there. /Sven -- public key: https://www.svensemmler.org/0x8F541FB6.asc fingerprint: D7CA F2DB 658D 89BC 08D6 A7AA DA6E 167B 8F54 1FB6
