Hi, After testing Qubes for a few weeks (3.1, 3.2-rc1,2&3), here's my 2 cents:
It's a great OS in many aspects but still unusable outside of the small group of the "terminal only" ppl. Reason # 1 is graphics. In this day and age it's expected for any OS to at least have basic video rendering without glitches. AFAIK, Qubes is still using the old Fedora 20 video drivers (even for Intel IGPs), while Fedora 25, Wayland enabled is only 2 months away. I thought this was a Xen+Fedora limitation, so I installed Fedora 24 + Xen, Ubuntu 16.04+Xen, Debian 8 + Xen, - and they all work ok with decent drivers. So, I guess, in order to conform to certain security requirements, the Qubes team was forced to "tweak" the X server and/or drivers. So what's the current status on video drivers in Qubes? Is Wayland on its way or are we hooped? Any insights? This is not just my personal question (though I'd love to switch to Qubes as my primary OS) but also many of my colleagues in the IT/IS world.
