Whonix needs more users using:

- Whonix stable-proposed-updates APT repository or
- Whonix testers APT repository

More information and how to switch Whonix APT repository:

OK, seems fine so far.

Only quirk that I also have with stable is when I shutdown a browser VM
with my hotkey config (it runs a script that quits firefox + thunderbird
in the foreground VM, then does qvm-shutdown on it) there is a popup
saying "Error: Failed to start Tor Browser".

That's probably because the killing of firefox leads to firefox
`exit`ing with a non-zero exit code.

Maybe some exit codes should as for sigterm 143 should not trigger that
popup?
