But not updated for Qubes OS 4.2, right?
But you can already to it. You have to enter the app name though. Do you expect to get a list of apps like in Qubes Domains widget? I’m not sure how to make it without overloading the menu.
please more colors for VMs

More secure defaults for things we use as daily drivers.
There are far too many things that a n00b user takes for granted while using a Linux distro like Ubuntu which require manual configuration on Qubes.
It seems a lot of configuration depends on dom0 whose terminal we can’t easily copy to and the configurations are usually quite elaborate (see the policy file for setting up an audio qube as an example.
It would be nice if dom0 was split into two terminals. A “true” root terminal that retains the security of not being able to be pasted into and another terminal that has enough privileges for writing up configs so that it is less difficult to troubleshoot and experiment.
Right now I would like to be more secure but choosing security comes across as being hard and a user can’t easily undo their choices if they make mistakes. Leading to a situation where the average user will prefer to stick with the defaults and the defaults if not that secure, in and of themselves increase the security risk of the user.

AFAIK the jump in security while switching from any other OS to Qubes is much higher than that from tinkering with Qubes and using its advanced features.
Many advanced features of Qubes, including Audio qube, are not sufficiently tested and therefore not included in the default configuration yet. With time, bugs are fixed and the default configuration gets more secure, like disposable sys-usb and sys-firewall were introduced in R4.1. These disposable sys-* qubes could be configured manually before 4.1, like sys-audio can be done now.
Additionally, some configurations can and will be distributed as Salt formulas by the developers.
Have a look at Admin API: you can have qubes that can manage a subset of other qubes giving you the convenience and still keeping the compartmentalization for critical things.

- How to setup and use Bluetooth
- How to setup the WiFi network card that comes with a laptop.
- Safe installation of software. This is complicated by the fractured nature of the Linux ecosystem already, but as an example when I installed an AppImage, I discovered that you have to get the steps right from the beginning
I think there should be some attempt to consolidate the documentation so that a user is able after they’ve setup Qubes OS, they quickly know how to do things the right way.
An example of this is how to organize qubes
Don’t get me wrong, I am very thankful to the community members for helping me whenver I have trouble, but that relies on them having time and since the undo process with Qubes is complex, you can get stuck for a while with a problem. It would great to have some kind of path/roadmap, where as a user, one can gradually become more knowledgeable regarding Qubes and becoming better at using it as a daily driver.
Not all of us have extra machines to try things out on and be the change we want to see in this area.
Hope that clarifies it and thanks for asking the question

Qubes Backup:
Uncheck the Open File Manager Checkbox automatically when selecting to shutdown PC after successful backup as I think it blocks shutdown when enabled… Also move this checkbox to the first dialog where the other options are set…
Accidental post.
Diversified sys-net and sys-firewall installation options, sys-i2p and so on. But i suppose those can cause fragmentation of downloadable iso…

Backup gui utility window should have a sash in the middle so that you can adjust the size of the scrolling list of qubes vs. the status that shows in the bottom half. I think it’s a Gtk “Paned” that I am suggesting here.

Text mode backup should NOT print the list of everything you didn’t tell it to back up when --quiet is used. (Actually I’d rather it be something added when you use --verbose.)

It would be nice if it were possible to have debian kernels appear in the kernel dropdown for “what kernel should this VM use” (and not just Fedora kernels). At least make it an option.

Convenience. The ability to change the Mouse/Touch-pad pointer to be larger, perhaps translucent, different colors.
Easily turn off “tap to click” as it is difficult to function on older laptops, and I can do without,
While I think these options are have been made available by some bit in github someplace, I don’t trust things not implemented by developers.
What’s not easy about it? It’s in System Settings → Mouse and Touchpad → Touchpad → Tap touchpad to click
