Updating Qubes OS
=================
This page is about updating your system while staying on the same [supported version of Qubes OS].
If you're instead looking to upgrade from your current version of Qubes OS to a newer version, see the [Upgrade Guides].
Fully updating your Qubes OS system means updating:
- [Dom0]
- [TemplateVMs]
- [StandaloneVMs] (if you have any)
Visit the pages above to see to how to update each one.
The final step is to make sure that all of your VMs are running a supported operating system so that they're all receiving security updates.
For example, you might be using a [Fedora TemplateVM].
The [Fedora Project] is independent of the Qubes OS Project.
They set their own [schedule] for when each Fedora release reaches [end-of-life] (EOL).
You can always find out when an operating system reaches EOL from the upstream project that maintains it, but we also make EOL [announcements] and publish guides for official TemplateVM operating systems as a convenience to Qubes users.
When this happens, you should make sure to follow the guide to upgrade to a supported version of that operating system (see the [Fedora upgrade guides] and the [Debian upgrade guides]).
The one exception is dom0, which [doesn't have to be upgraded][dom0-eol].
