Re: [qubes-users] What's the logic behind many similar templates?

2019-11-29 Thread 'hut7no' via qubes-users

tetrahedra via qubes-users:

By default Qubes comes with two templates for AppVMs: a Debian template
and a Fedora one.

But many people seem to clone templates, so they also have an e.g
"fedora-minimal" template or a "-multimedia" one or any number of other
variations.

Why not just have "one template to rule them all" for each distribution
(Fedora and Debian)?



Smaller attack surface/faster. If you want to do this you might want a 
squid caching proxy to pass updates from a VM, through the proxy, to 
your previous update VM.

You can have less network usage, it seems to work well.
Read the security considerations, and the code if you are really serious.
