Do i need to wipe the private volume for the template vm if so how?

EDIT: I figured it out was because the template vm changes dont take effect until the template is shutdown. Took me way to long to figure that out.

    /etc/skel is highly distribution specific.

    Are you sure your VM even pulls from it automatically versus needing some sort of manual action?

    • My template is debian based so /etc/skel should be fine. My understanding is that qubes makes a private volume that it mounts into /home and some other dirs but thats the only non volatile part. When u create a new app vm from the template vm the private volume of the template is thrown away and a new one created this should create a new user that should be templates from /etc/skel but thats not happening idk why
