Guide to build a "sys-mini" template for all service-qubes

I have not fully read this guide but if you don’t mind, here are some random thoughts:

  • you have to tell the user it’s for Qubes OS 4.3 because 4.2 is still supported
  • I still don’t understand the purpose of this guide
  • there is a confusion between “template” and “disposable template”, the real purpose are to change both, right?
  • there should be an advice telling users to avoid this guide unless they are advanced (See Why Use Minimal Templates? - #15 by adw)
  • with that in mind, a lot of the text could be stripped down to remove things that an advanced user should know (and get a more readable guide)
  • why are you installing optional software in a minimal template?
  • why are you creating new sys-net and so on, instead of just changing the disposable template?
  • why are you changing the default settings?

I like the idea of a checking procedure.
