### Note on dom0 and EOL
Dom0 is isolated from domUs. DomUs can access only a few interfaces, such as Xen, device backends (in the dom0 kernel and in other VMs, such as the NetVM), and Qubes tools (gui-daemon, qrexec-daemon, etc.).
These components are [security-critical], and we provide updates for all of them (when necessary), regardless of the support status of the base distribution.
For this reason, we consider it safe to continue using a given base distribution in dom0 even after it has reached EOL (end-of-life).

The following tables show the **support status** of each [TemplateVM] provided by the Qubes OS Project.
The following table shows select [TemplateVM] versions that are currently supported.
Currently, only [Fedora] and [Debian] TemplateVMs are officially supported by the Qubes OS Project.
[Whonix] TemplateVMs are supported by our partner, the [Whonix Project].
Qubes support for each TemplateVM ends when that upstream release reaches end-of-life (EOL), unless otherwise noted.
In the case of Debian, support ends at regular EOL, not [LTS][Debian-LTS] EOL, unless otherwise noted.
See [below](#note-on-whonix-support) for Whonix support details.
For upstream EOL information, see [Fedora EOL][fedora-eol] and [Debian EOL][debian-eol].
