Looks like he had a typo and has solved it now.
I do see and get your point here with .img being generic/obscure.
However, in Qubes, .img is the standard file extension for raw disk images.
I’m wondering which is would be the worst of the two in Qubes…
a) Dealing with .raw and then using it as .img, potentially confusing people on how it magically changes file extensions or if the .raw will even work for them in Qubes.
b) Dealing with .img consistently throughout Qubes, potentially confusing people between the nature of file formatting and file extension.
Also, if we soon achieve a useful ProxyVM + AppVM configuration with nrgaway’s contributions, I’m not so sure it will even make sense to deal with HVMs and importing disk images anymore, as the Whonix Qubes HVMs are very lacking in their ease of use and workflow flexibility.
