Security-Oriented Qubes OS 3.2 Improves the Integrated Management Infrastructure

Qubes OS 3.2 is a maintenance release, which means that it mostly adds general fixes and improvements to various of the distribution’s core components and functionalities, including the integrated management infrastructure that was introduced as part of the previous update, Qubes 3.1, allowing users to also manage the “insides” of a virtual machine. The new management functionality implemented in Qubes OS 3.2 can also be used for basic system configuration during installation. A graphical application that lets users download Salt recipes to configure various aspects of the OS might land in Qubes OS in one of the next major releases, as part of the upcoming Qubes 4.x series.
