While in principle this (or RISC-V) looks like a good way to go, in practice it is unrealistic. We want to make something useably for more than very few people around the world. We want Qubes OS to be something that user can get and install on broadly available hardware. Until Qubes OS will be used on >50% computers around the world (ok, much lower number, say 10%), we are not in position to dictate what hardware is available in local stores. And the unfortunate truth is that most hardware available for consumers is x86 today. Adding ppc64le support will require a lot of effort and without a clear business use no business entity (including ITL) will fund this. And as Michael already said, OTF even more focus on something broadly available rather than raising the barrier even higher. So, lets first dominate the world, then make it a better place! ;) Just to be clear - if someone will find/provide funding enough to work on this, without sacrificing x86 support, we'll be very happy to help with building a team to make it happen. But until that happen, that's not something on our roadmap. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
