Personally I like that once I setup a Debian qube, it'll run and receive 
security updates for many years. I haven't looked up how quickly a 
Fedora qube EOLs but it 'feels' like year, maybe 18 months.


It kind of depends what you want from your setup. I've reached a point 
where I have plenty of stuff to do and don't want to deal with things 
like updates and changing interfaces any more than necessary. Don't get 
me wrong: I thoroughly enjoyed the learning curve and setting everything 
up, but now that it works I enjoy not having to think about it all the time.

Not sure if there is a big benefit using Debian over Fedora 33 but I would
like to hear if there is a benefit.
I am using my own "minimalized" Templates which are build from a
fedora-33-minimal template.
You can find more about my templates here:
https://github.com/one7two99/my-qubes/blob/master/my-qubes-templates/20%20template-sys-vms.md

The template will work for sys-net / sys-firewall / sys-usb and also for a
vpn-qube.
I don't see that updating my fedora-based template takes much longer than
my debian templates.

If your WiFi is Intel just install the "firmware-iwlwifi"

 Hi,
I use Debian 10 for sys-net. It works great.

Here are the steps that works for me.
1 - Install the minimal template for debian 10
2 - Update the template
3 - Install the qubes-core-agent-passwordless-root package (if you want)
4 - Shutdown the template
5 - Create a clone of the template (deb-10-sys)
6 - Start deb-10-sys
7 - Install the following package: qubes-core-agent-networking 
qubes-core-agent-network-manager pciutils
8 - Shutdown deb-10-sys
9 - Change the template for sys-net to deb-10-sys (after shutting down all 
qubes) and start sys-net
10 - If everything works (wired and wireless) you are good to go if not
11 - Start xterm in sys-net
12 - Use lspci to see the info of the card that is not working
13 - Search the web to see which firmware needs to be installed in debian 
to support that card
14 - Start deb-10-sys, install the firmware and shutdown deb-10-sys
15 - Restart sys-net - everything should work

I know I have use debian for firewall and USB in the past but went back to 
Fedora for USB because of some issue (don't even remember what issue) and I 
am now trying Mirage for firewall.

Hope it helps!

D.

I don't have any suggestion for the Debian issue, but what I do to limit
the updates is clone the fedora-33-minimal to a template called
fedora-33-net, strip out any apps not needed, and then use that for my
networking AppVM's. With fewer apps there are far fewer updates to deal
with.

Hi, I am trying to make work the sys-net and sys-firewall under 
debian-10-minimal template, instead of fedora-33, but without success. 
Fedora is annoying with its updates and also I would like to decrease 
the exposure to the complexity of fedora-33 full template wherever 
possible.


I followed these guides regarding networking:

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/minimal/
https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/privacy/anonymizing-your-mac-address.md 



I installed following packages into debian-10-minimal template and based 
the sys-net and sys-firewall on it:


qubes-core-agent-networking qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates 
qubes-core-agent-network-manager qubes-core-agent-passwordless-root nano 
qubes-mgmt-salt-vm-connector qubes-core-agent-nautilus nautilus 
gnome-terminal


Once I change the sys-whonix and sys-firewall, the network icon doesnt 
show any Wi-Fi Networks, only ethernet.


Sorry, sys-net and sys-firewall, not sys-whonix of course.



Any workaround? >
