- Qube classes
- ------------
- Qube class (or type) specify basic features of it, mostly what data persists
- across reboots and what properties qube have.
- AppVM
- ^^^^^
- Default qube class, for template-based qubes. In this type, root volume is used
- from its template and changes made to it are discarded at qube restart. Changes
- in qube's private volume are persistent.
- StandaloneVM
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^
- This qube class have both root and private volumes persistent. This qube type
- does not have template property.
- TemplateVM
- ^^^^^^^^^^
- A qube that can be used as a template for `AppVM`. Otherwise very similar to
- `StandaloneVM`.
- DispVM
- ^^^^^^
- A disposable qube - no data persists across qube restarts. It must have template
- set to an `AppVM` instance that have `dispvm_allowed` property set to true (see
- :manpage:`qvm-prefs(1)`).
