look like output of

Can you try to upgrade distro from terminal?

7

How do I start the update?

If you use fedora as standalone qube:

9

Template => TemplateVM

10

Wait same days or few weeks for release of fedora 45 template from QubesOS team.

11

Could you please check the free space? df -Th /

12

This seems odd to me. A default template gets 20 GB for the OS, yet fedora-44-gnome is only 6 GB. My guess, Sabine using his TemplateVM as an everyday working drive instead of an actual template.
