Hi Defiant
Slightly off topic but this might be useful for you.
In my view, and this is purely personal, there is a slightly more coherent
feel to working under Debian templates anyway. In part that is because even
the full Debian template is less filled out than the fedora one, so that
I had problems with the trackpad on the install of R 4.0 over a year ago, and

Hi, I am upgrading from Qubes 4.0 to 4.0.1 anyway. I notice that there is now a

that Q 4.0.1 still uses Debian 9.
Am I right in thinking that the template from the newer version of Debian
should just work with VMs
