May be it already somehow exists and I am not aware of it, but it would be very interesting to be able to save backup settings, that is a list of VMs that contain your current ordinary activity and you want to backup more often and fast. I mean not everything which in my case is over 250gb, not

Seems like you're taking the super-comprehensive route (including flashing Coreboot) on a low-compatibility machine. Maybe one day I'll have enough proficiency to really make a machine *mine*.Out of curiousity, what model are you working on? I'll give the Youtube Suspension Test a try once I

[qubes-users] fedora template rpm refuses to go away?
