Disposable templates after switching to fedora 38

[fatlazycat]

Hi
I followed the instructions at this webpage for switching my template.
I installed the fedora 38 template from the qube os site.

Templates | Qubes OS.
The Switching → #2 tells you to use the Qube Manager to base the current disposable template to the new template. But I saw no menus (by right clicking or otherwise) that would let me switch to a new template.

I changed the templates using Qube Template Manager for the regular appVMs.
How do i create the disposable template.

I also noticed that sys-firewall, sys-net and sys-usb are based on the diposable templates. Is this the recommended approach ?

Many thanks,
flc

During Qubes OS installation you had a choice to create sys-* qubes as standard AppVMs or as named disposable VMs. By default it’ll create sys-* qubes as disposables.
Also how to update diposable templates if you’re using USB keyboard/mouse:

Hi! I recently deployed fedora-38 template, switch almost everything to it. But I’m stuck on updating the disposable VM template, I can’t change its base template if a DVM VM is running using it: Cannot change template while there are running DispVMs based on this DVM template Indeed, I need to keep sys-usb running, because my computer has USB keyboard and mouse, if I stop this VM, I can’t do anything with my computer except a not graceful power off. How am I supposed to change the templat…
