Hi all,
Just a friendly reminder that Fedora 23 End of Life is December 20.[1] You may want to make sure you've updated your templates; there is a guide in the Qubes Documentation.[2]
I know I don't get to decide what people talk about, but I'd like to ask that people NOT use this thread to rehash the debate about the dom0 distribution. :)
Best,
Daniel

Is there a guide to update an existing VM to Fedora 24 while preserving it's contents? I upgraded the template per the instructions [1], but can't figure out how to upgrade my existing VMs while saving their data.
I can do a fresh Qubes install if necessary but would rather avoid it, if possible.

no need to upgrade them. One of the main features of the template
system is that you only have to update and upgrade the templates, and
all VMs based on those TemplateVMs will get their root filesystems
from the TemplateVMs. So, just make sure that your TemplateBasedVMs
are based on your Fedora 24 TemplateVM(s), and you're good to go.
If, on the other hand, you're referring to Fedora StandaloneVMs, then
the procedure for upgrading those is the same as for TemplateVMs,
except that StandaloneVMs can't be `qvm-trim`ed (AFAIK).

have the COW overlay. So it doesn't need the dom0 tool.

The 'discard' option can also be added in /etc/fstab so that root
auto-trims like /rw.
