Fedora 34 approaching EOL; Fedora 35 templates available

[Andrew David Wong]

Dear Qubes Community,

Fedora 34 is scheduled to reach EOL (end-of-life [1]) on 2022-06-07, and
new Fedora 35 templates are now available for both Qubes 4.0 and 4.1.

We strongly recommend that all Qubes users upgrade [2] their Fedora 34
templates and standalones to Fedora 35 before Fedora 34 reaches EOL.

We provide fresh Fedora 35 template packages through the official Qubes
repositories, which you can install in dom0 by following the standard
installation instructions [3]. Alternatively, we also provide step-by-
step instructions for performing an in-place upgrade [4] of an existing
Fedora template. After upgrading your templates, please remember to
switch all qubes that were using the old template to use the new
one [5].

For a complete list of template releases that are supported for your
specific Qubes release, see our supported template releases [6].

Please note that no user action is required regarding the OS version in
dom0. For details, please see our note on dom0 and EOL [7].
