please rephrase "Using and Managing USB Devices"

[emdete]

i think the document Using and Managing USB Devices needs some polishing. it mixes past & present features, contradicts itself and has no clear flow. example:

it is possible to prepare and utilize a USB qube.

For this reason, you may wish to avoid using a USB qube

it tries to cover the two major setups (sys-usb installed yes/no), describe concrete procedures (create sys-usb, use usb-proxy), metiones existing problems (reset bug of chips) and is partly incomplete.

finally i doubt that it is very useful for the standard user targeted by qubes.

@Yethal: This is a cumbersome diff to evaluate because of the way you moved a large stretch of preexisting text without making it clear whether you made any specific changes, additions, or removals. Can you point out exactly what changes you've made here?

@andrewdavidwong

• Moved USB qube instructions to the top of the document to stress the importance of using one
• Added USB mouse instructions to mirror the USB keyboard one
• Added a warning that USB keyboards cannot be used to type disk passphrase if USB controllers were hidden from dom0
• Removed redundant Qubes 3.1 specific instructions due to Qubes 3.1 becoming EOL
• Block devices segment moved to the bottom for better flow (Users should first be taught how to manage USB controllers before they are taught how to use USB devices)
