However, I am testing out 4.1 and looking a bit into the cause of the bugs I see (loading the coredumps in gdb). I find my motivation for using time on getting to the bottom of the errors dropping because there is a chance that the errors are already fixed in newer versions. How hard it would be for me to test it out on newer versions, I wonder. It would be nice if Qubes was something you could add to an existing installation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

At that time Fedora 32 was still a recent release. Every release has to draw a line somewhere - it would not be feasible to keep updating dom0 as the testing rounds progress. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

'Rune Philosof' via qubes-users: Why not use fedora 35 for dom0?
