Qubes DispVM technical discussion

Things are “starting” to get confusing :grinning:

                     inheritance (on create)     persistence (on poweroff)
TemplateVM           n/a                         everything
TemplateBasedVM      /etc/skel/ to /home/        /rw/ (includes /home/ and bind-dirs)
DispVM               /home/                      nothing

Conceptually, dispVM is now more flexible/convenient than before but potentially less anonymous since they are based on templateBasedVM and not templateVM - meaning there are more opportunities to configure them badly.

Potential tickets:
