This is a thread where we compile small tips and tricks that can improve the Qubes experience for most users. What we hope to accomplish is to create a one-stop-post where people can quickly find improvements to their systems instead of having to search for and visit a hundred different posts.

Feel free to contribute to the tips section of this wiki post.

The following guidelines are subject to change as we figure out how this might work

  1. If your tip cannot be condensed into a few lines, it doesn't belong  

  2. If your tip is niche with regard to the Qubes userbase, it doesn't belong*  

  3. If you're unsure whether your tip belongs, ask

 

  1. Give credit (even to yourself) and add a link when applicable

 

  1. Follow the established style convention as much as possible

 

  1. Feel free to add new categories if necessary

 

  1. Discussions regarding specific tips belong in their own thread--unless discussing whether it belongs here.

* What's 'niche' is going to spawn a lot of debate and angst, but this constraint is necessary to prevent this post from getting bloated and mostly irrelevant
