Just curious, now that fedora-30 is officially here.
Like many, I'm a Debian fan, been using it forever, so would love to see a switch to Debian.
I just installed fedora-30 template and checked it out. Looks good, no problems.
I also cloned debian-9 to debian-10 and upgraded to Buster. Works fine too. I'm eager to upgrade whonix's too.
I guess 2019 is the year Qubes gets major OS upgrades.

"testing". There'll be some changes before release, but yes, the buster
template seems fine.
If by "switch to Debian" you mean switch dom0 to Debian, I dont see this
happening. With target of a GUI domain and management domain, there's
more likely to be a very lightweight dom0. That dom0 Debian target
dropped some time ago.

down to suit a GUI domain or small dom0?

I didn't say that.

I said nothing about Debian in GUI domain, although I think it would be
a poor choice for that purpose.
As to dom0, I think some other lightweight distro will fit better than a
cut down Debian.
