I have a printer whose drivers won’t install on Fedora 40 so I keep an old fedora 39 templateVM around for when I need to print. Instances are kept vaulted and used only sometimes by DVMs made for printing.
Today I found Qubes seemed to show I had an update, but when I clicked the update widget the OS was instead just lecturing me about having an old/“obsolete” templateVM.
I don’t appreciate the nagging, or the false indicator that I have an update.
Worse, I can find no setting to disable this when I click the settings icon in Qubes Update.
This is a terrible mis “feature.” If I wanted a paternalistic OS I’d be on Apple/Mac. At least allow me to opt out from yet another user hostile, ill considered decision by the inept Qubes core team.
This sucks. It’s my computer and if I want to run an old image I deem safe, I will. How about you guys fix the problems of not actually supporting Fedora versions until like 9 months after they come out before you start bot-lecturing us users?
