So my choices are: a) debian-minimal based kicksecure b) fedora-minimal The reason I wanted to have "plain" debian-minimal was to get more minimal (less space / less stuff) as morphing into kicksecure adds quite some packages. But now that I have tried fedora-minimal ... I have to say it is a LOT LESS minimal than debian-minimal just judging by size. So back to kicksecure it is. I wish I new how to debug this and figure out what they have done to make it work that is missing in the debian templates.

[qubes-users] Yum errors trying to update dom0 on Qubes 4.0
Hi,
My 'Qubes Updates' notifier told me there were updates available for the
dom0.
I tried running my usual command:
qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-security-testing --clean
but I am getting the error below. Any ideas? This is Qubes 4.0, and the
Debian repository for my TemplateVMs is still working fine, successfully
fetching some Xen updates on the securitytesting repo.
Thanks!
Log message:
Using sys-firewall as UpdateVM to download updates for Dom0; this may take
some time...

Re: [qubes-users] Re: High dom0 CPU usage by qubesd
OK, reported, some optimization attempts included: https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/uTi3QHuhdy8 Also, I have some temptation to reimplement qubes-i3status as a Python wrapper around the original i3status. We would probably also resolve some other problems. For example, I had to fix reading of the battery status. BTW, if you have ~25% CPU load, I guess you just have quad-core CPU (or maybe dual-core with hyperthreading).
