Users who are already using Qubes OS 4.1.0 or Qubes OS 4.1.1-rc1 can update normally, which includes upgrading EOL templates they have to make their systems essentially equivalent to this stable Qubes OS 4.1.1 release. The latest release comes with various updates over the initial 4.1.0 release, such as:
- All 4.1.0 dom0 updates to date
- Fedora 36 template (upgraded from Fedora 34)
- Linux kernel 5.15 (upgraded from 5.10)
With the announcement of Qubes OS 4.1.1, the team also reminded that Qubes 4.0 is reaching end-of-life on the 4th of August. Thus the team urged users, who have been waiting for an opportunity to upgrade to Qubes 4.1 via the clean reinstallation method, to use the Qubes 4.1.1 release to do so. This is the last Qubes 4.1 patch release before Qubes 4.0 reaches end-of-life.
