Dear Qubes Community,
New Fedora 33 TemplateVMs are now available for both Qubes 4.0 and 4.1.
*Important:* If you wish to use the Qubes Update widget to update a Fedora 33 template, you must first switch [1] the `default-mgmt-dvm` qube to a Fedora 33 template. (Alternatively, you can create a separate management DisposableVM Template based on a Fedora 33 template for the purpose of updating Fedora 33 templates.) This does not affect updating internally using `dnf`.
Instructions are available for upgrading Fedora TemplateVMs [2]. We also provide fresh Fedora 33 TemplateVM packages through the official Qubes repositories, which you can get with the following commands (in dom0).
Standard [3] Fedora 33 TemplateVM:
$ sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-33
Minimal [4] Fedora 33 TemplateVM:
$ sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-33-minimal
After installing or upgrading a TemplateVM, please remember to update [5] (see important note above) and switch all qubes that were using the old template to use the new one [1].
