I can edit the title but not with the post, I’ll contact you if i need help to edit #1.
Some ago, i decide to post a build qubes with i3 and it lead me to learning more about how you build with other environment?
Instead of removing xfce from iso, what i did this time is add more desktop environment which we can choose at installation.
I have do a quick try and this is the result.
Just a first look and from my preference, I would choose gnome rather than kde, not only it more stable everything is just good.
Qubes with i3 is what I use as the host, you may want to see this thread.
