Highlights

  • Qubes OS r4.3 release candidate 3.
  • Whonix 18 and Kicksecure 18 (testing) templates.
  • Advanced (USB) Input Proxy filtering.
  • Qubes App Menu improvements

Details

In addition to the usual minor fixes and patches (full list here):

  • core-admin-addon-whonix v4.3.3 (r4.3)
    core-admin-addon-whonix v4.3.2 (r4.3)
    Updated policy for Whonix 18 and Kicksecure 18 qubes. You will need this in dom0 before in-place upgrade of existing Whonix and Kicksecure templates. Or in case you want to install a fresh copy of Whonix 18 and Kicksecure (18) templates. Further note that the new 80-whonix.policy file will overwrite the existing one.

  • app-linux-input-proxy v1.0.44 (r4.3)
    app-linux-input-proxy v1.0.44 (r4.2)
    A very interesting and exciting patch from security perspective. It is now possible to allow only certain USB input devices (Keyboards, Mice, Tablets) based on the vendor ID, Product ID or even the USB port it is connected to. This way, you could avoid most hardware keyboard loggers which usually could not fake the VID/PID (at the time of this post). This is very useful considering how such loggers have become so common these days everywhere and even open source implementations which could be easily implanted inside original devices are readily available. The only issue with this patch is that the documentation for it is not yet available. Tech-savvy users should not have problem to understand it and use it by reading the patch code and the related Github issue.

    • Updating the Whonix version to v18
    • Manually applying servicevm feature to sys-usb, sys-net, sys-firewall & sys-audio.
    • By applying the mentioned feature to any qube (e.g. sys-vpn, sys-nas, ...), they would also move to the SERVICE tab of the App Menu and their respective icons will be also changed (e.g. in Qube Manager).

    • A new --skip-start option for qvm-template install command. This is useful if user wants to skip post-install operation (e.g. fetching App Menu icons) and do some operations manually post installation.
    • More patches for disposables (e.g. changing properties of disposable template while it has child DispVMs).
    • Excluding preloaded disposables from qvm-run --all.
  • windows-utils v4.2.1 (r4.3)
    This package is a build bot glitch (like the one from two weeks ago). It should be ignored.

  • qubes-release v4.3-0.9 (r4.3)

    • Switching Whonix templates to r18.
    • Bumping Qubes OS r4.3 to release candidate 3. Users who have rc1 or rc2 installed should be automatically upgraded to rc3 (but they need to manually upgrade their Whonix templates. See epilogue).
  • linux-firmware v20251021-1 (r4.2)
    linux-firmware v20251021-1 (r4.3)
    This version includes fixes for Intel, Nvidia and Mediatek. Release notes here.

  • anaconda v41.28-4 (r4.3)
    The check for (correct) system time before installation prevented the entire installation if the system RTC time was in the past. This is fixed to allow user to re-adjust the time during installation.

  • gui-daemon v4.3.14 (r4.3)
    The event buffering (Kloak) had issues with Qt applications. Which is fixed.

  • meta-packages v4.2.15 (r4.2)

  • gui-agent-linux v4.3.12 (r4.3)

Epilogue

For people who are on Qubes OS r4.3 rc2, I would highly recommend getting a fresh copy of Whonix 18 templates (if you use Whonix) or doing in-place upgrade of (a clone of) the existing Whonix 17 templates. The guide on Whonix WIKI is sufficient to perform in-place upgrade.

For people who want to try a fresh installation of Qubes OS r4.3 rc3, it appears that the ISO is already uploaded (thanks to @rustybird for the hint).

I don’t see it under /downloads/ [1] yet. You mean to say it is

    • These templates use LXQt (instead of XFCE).

That’s interesting. Are there any user-facing, cosmetic differences we
are going to notice, due to this switch from XFCE4 to LXQt with the
Whonix Templates (both workstation and the gateway)? How about
performance differences there might be? Is LXQt more performant with
less compute resources?

Please refer to the hint I shared in epilogue for more information.

I believe the answer might be yes. For example, the default File Manger to Terminal Emulator in (fresh) install of Whonix template might not be XFCE4 terminal or Thunar.

I believe there won’t be much noticeable performance difference for most users. Most users might be using the (anon) browser which remains the same. And for other uses (terminal emulator, file manager, …), both XFCE and LXQt are extremely light.

Alright. Another question for me is that, now with Debian-13 in Qubes
4.3 being XFCE4, and Whonix-18 being LXQt, isn’t there going to be
visual and UX-wise inconsistencies between the qubes of these templates?
For example, the debian ones are going to keep using Thunar, meanwhile,
all of a sudden, whonix ones will use a different looking PCManFM.
Also, the terminal program on the former going to be xfce4-terminal,
while on the latter going to be Qterminal. I am going to be “forced”
(or left to) configure qterminal to look and feel coherent and similar
to my already existing xfce4-terminal, not to mention, my existing
dotfiles targeting the xfce environment will be nullified under whonix
qubes.

First of all, if the absolute final decision by Whonix development team would be the switch from XFCE to LXQt, then there would be some minor UX-wise inconsistencies:

But I do not find it annoying personally.

I do not believe so. I believe having the LXQt as default won’t necessary mean user will not be able to install XFCE side-by-side and using it (or at least, for the time). I quote from their wiki:

However, other desktop environments like Gnome, KDE, LXQt, LXDE and so on can be manually installed.

There are multiple topics and threads on Whonix forum, discussing the choice for DE, Wayland migration (which was a reason for prefering LXQt over XFCE). And I believe Whonix forum might be a better place to discuss this topic (e.g. this one).

There will be no updates weekly newsletter this week. Since there were no new packages.

A fresh build of Kicksecure and Whonix templates was initiated (for r4.3). It succeeded for Kicksecure and Whonix Gateway templates. But failed for Whonix workstation.

How do you have sysmaint with 17? Is that on Q4.3?

There is a Whonix wiki for that:

You could install user-sysmaint-split. But please read the entire wiki
