= Template =
There is no ready-made template yet.

Future: This wiki page will be updated once available.

It shouldn't be hard to fork [https://github.com/Whonix/qubes-template-whonix qubes-template-whonix] into <code>kicksecure-qubes-template</code>. Please contribute to {{project_name_short}} and Qubes OS by creating and maintaining a <code>kicksecure-{{VersionShort}}</code> Qubes Template.

= Support Status =
How stable is this? Should be very stable. This is because Qubes-Whonix is based on Kicksecure.

The lead developer of Kicksecure is also a user of Qubes and using Kicksecure in Qubes.

= Service VMs =
{{project_name_short}} in Qubes service VMs such as <code>sys-net</code>, <code>sys-firewall</code>, <code>sys-usb</code> are functional. This is classified as [[unsupported]] to avoid complex support requests for issues not caused by {{project_name_short}} being directed at {{project_name_short}} support. <ref>

= Qubes Template Modifications =
If a Qubes template has been modified, to make changes in App Qubes based on that Template take effect, it is required to shut down the Template and restart the App Qubes based on that Template. This is a Qubes default and [[Unspecific|unspecific to {{project_name_short}}]].

To apply changes made to a Template:

'''1.''' Make the required modification to the Template.

'''2.''' Shut down the Template.

'''3.''' Shut down the App Qube based on the modified Template.

'''4.''' Start the App Qube based on the modified Template.

'''5.''' Done.

These steps ensure that all changes made to the Template are properly propagated to the App Qubes.
