Whether clonning of an existing "work"- qube has security flaws?

[fsflover]

Hi, welcome to the community!

@agrozdanov

Can you provide me with some links to find out how the two qubes will “work” with each other

A cloned qube is totally independent. You just copy the contents and preferences of a qube and create a new one. See also: Better Understanding Template Cloning.

I have noticed I can copy and paste “directly” between them ?

Secure copy works for any pair of qubes: How to copy and paste text | Qubes OS.

@agrozdanov

I was able to install snapd, and to activate it, and then was able to install Atom, and I can start it with XTerm but it doesn’t seem to work well. When I try to open a project e.g., it is crashing.

You should create a separate topic for that, so other people will be able to find it, too. What does it write when you run it from the command line?

@agrozdanov

Will it be possible to provide me with links to how, and where to add a completely new software - into the “template” or the “qube”, and how to “make it visible” into the “application”- section so to be able to add it to the software used and hence to be able to use it ?

How to install software

Which one is standalone, and which one HVM - the qube- template

See here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/glossary/#standalone

By default, there are no standalone qubes installed. They only appear if you create those. Such qubes are fully independent operating systems, with their own root and home partitions.

HVM is a virtualization technology, which is recommended for not officially supported operating systems.
