Hello, I’m beginner to QubeOS and I don’t know really how to use it properly. I’m not really an absolute beginner in Linux (running it since 2 years), but I’ve never tried it and these I wanna try so installed it 2 days ago. At first it’s very good, not laggy, etc… It’s what I want! But today I want to really set this thing up for every day use, but it’s not really convenient to use for some of my use cases. So I need your help for global tips to use the system and for my use cases :

  • Never really liked use the default Firefox ESR + hardening, used the flatpak app of Mullvad, basically I want to know the way of installing apps

  • Want to set up “hacking” lab, mainly Kali or Parrot and other to use with the networking to “hack” them, basically I want to run multiples VMs

Thank you guys 😁

    I’ve installed the template of kali-core (available by default in the template manager), them create a qube with the kali-core template, and add all the apps available to the qube. Sadly I don’t have all the apps that are normally present into Kali. Such as Ettercap and Wireshark

    Maybe those apps are not installed by default in the template? Launch a terminal in the template and try to install ettercap and wireshark from there.

    not in the “default” template manager how do I use that?

    Never tried that, and I couldn’t find anything about installing templates from local files on qubes wiki :(
    Try qvm-template command in dom0 terminal and see if there are options to install template from local files there.

      OK thanks, I’ve noticed that I got an update for the Kali template right after the install but this doesn’t install the packages… Going to search for a solution.

      EDIT : The template just included the kali-linux-core so there’s almost nothing in it, so you need to browse the Kali meta packages to add the tools. I’ve chose kali-linux-default (~8GB) but there’s a lot more like kali-linux-everything (~30GB)

      Going to search how to add custom template too.

      And do you any clue for running a VM and connect it to the network to make a “hacking” lab? EDIT : And for flatpaks?
