I imagine that someone creates a community guide and then also creates a version that has commands to be run in dom0 with a script for waiting before applying certain steps if necessary.
Running such a script at first might not be safe, but over time if the community said it was good, then someone could just run it.
This would be something like a community guides tool. For example, I would like it if Qubes had a distress password at boot at at the screensaver. There are two community guides on how to do this. I realize that if I want to implement those, it may take 2-3 hours for each one for me to figure it out.
I really just wish I could copy a chunk of text to dom0 (it looks like QubesOS Helper could help with that) and just apply the community guide. This would especially help for setting up VPNs and setting up other things.
Qubes is just so time consuming and a lot of times I can look at the code and go “this doesn’t look malicious” and still know that it’s probably going to take a long time to utilize.
