Software Recommendations

Don’t install hplip driver-plugin your only trusted TemplateVM!

keep redoing the installation in a TemplateBasedVM
or use a StandaloneVM
or figure what needs bind-dirs selective persistence (undocumented,

research task, difficult)

This is because the driver plugin is a proprietary closed source binary.

Could you document this please?

“keep redoing the installation in a TemplateBasedVM” - this could use

some separate Qubes specific documentation. There is no reason to avoid

installation of software in TempalteBasedVMs. I usually use scripts to

automate it. That saves disk space, fewer VMs to upgrade (no

StandaloneVM). For me, even less cumbersome.

Done!
