Hello Viktor,
I'm not so old as a Qubes user too, but as far as I understand,
is you install a packet with dnf (fedora) or apt (debian) in your
appVM, it will disapear once you turn off the AppVM.
To keep your package from one reboot to another, you have to start
a terminal on the TemplateVM your AppVM is based on.
Then you can add your package in the Template, power off the
Template (don't forget this before next step) and start your
AppVM.
This should work.
Kind regards,
Fred.

Hello Qubes community,
I'm only a short-term user of Qubes-OS - and - I'm still struggling with all the details you have to know & understand.
How could it be explained, that a package, which was manually installed into an freshly created AppVM, get's removed?

Welcome to Qubes
When you use an appVM it is based on a template - almost all the file
system is derived from the template except for files and directories
stored in /rw which includes /home.
This means that when you close down the qube and restart it you get a
clean copy of the rest of the filesystem but any changes in /home/user
will be maintained.
If you install applications in the qube, they will (in most cases)
disappear on a reboot.
To avoid this you need to install the application in the template used
by the qube.
This is a core feature in Qubes and you can read about it at
