It should be easier to share a domU's screen, but sharing dom0's screen is, at least to some extent, inherently insecure. > 2) Cross-clipboard operations don't work by any means.

[qubes-users] First impressions
This is my first week of usage and impressions about the Qubes. The idea of isolation seemed wonderful before using it. Now I find very unhandy what I deal with in Qubes. 1) No way of desktop sharing, though I need it very much. I read some ideas on the point here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/qubes-users/-JEfgOF-TaI/kIU_JCmUCAAJ It sounds almost impossible. I use Zoom and Viber to share screen. Have no idea of screen forwarding to a VM. 2) Cross-clipboard operations don't work by any means. Cross-usage of applications, user-generated shortcuts to apps - everything seems a problem. 3) Appear empty windows I've never seen before in usual apps like Skype, qbittorrent, VLC etc. 4) No free space for software and libraries. There is a huge risk of loosing data when resizing images. I lost it twice, though I repeated every step from the guide. 5) Templates are based on pretty specific distros like Fedora and Debian. It takes time for Arch and Windows templates to create. 6) It is not very easy to direct webcam on a particular VM. Again, the idea is excellent. If there is a way to save my time on points 1-3 I would be thankful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
