Qubes users might want to use folder
/usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.din TemplateBasedVMs instead since that folder would persist after reboot and does not require changes in TemplateVM.
Create folder/usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.d.Then edit filesudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.d
/usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.d/50_user.confinstead. - ↑ https://github.com/Whonix/sdwdate-gui/blob/master/etc/sdwdate-gui.d/30_default.conf [archive]
