A question for those who are using the minimal template

User Support

I want to ask those who are using the Debian minimal template as their default VM: isn’t it inconvenient? How do you handle things like Wi-Fi?

People using minimal templates install programs in it to specialize it for a task, like being sys-net for your question. And usually, they have many customized templates, all starting from a minimal template.

The docs have guidance to get started with using minimal templates
here

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.

I guess, no one uses minimal templates as default templates. Minimal templates are used imho for exactly defined tasks like a template for mail qubes or a template for printer qubes. Or as starting point for a full blown template, if you like to install only that software, that you exactly need.
