Hello,

I am currently migrating from fedora-26 to fedora-28 which includes replacing my templates buy rebuilding from scratch.

I decided to replace my "fat AppVM templates" which have been based on fedora-26 before with AppVMs based on the
fedora-28-minimal template.

The question is now, if I should install Dolphin or Nautilus as the default File Manager and which qubes-specific question I should install.
What do you suggest under Qubes Dolphin or Nautilus?

For fedora use nautilus. Better Qubes integration.
In debian use dolphin, because in the past there already were some Qt packages installed.
And respectively use Qt Applications in debian and gtk stuff in fedora.
That is my advice.

Thanks for the hint.

And respectively use Qt Applications in debian and gtk stuff in fedora.

Is there a way to check which  application uses GTK and which are using QT?

Hey :)
ldd should help:

eg.:

$ ldd /bin/nautilus | grep -i 'gtk\|qt'
libgtk-3.so.0 => /lib64/libgtk-3.so.0

$ ldd /usr/bin/qgis | grep -i 'gtk\|qt'
libQtXml.so.4 => /lib64/libQtXml.so.4
libQtCore.so.4 => /lib64/libQtCore.so.4
[...]


Another solution is to list the package's dependencies; for rpms:

$ rpm -qR packagename | grep -i 'gtk\|qt'
