Sadly it's not that easy. For example, a 7th gen Intel APU will most probably not work with Qubes 3.2, since the kernel of the underlying Fedora (23 i think) does not yet support it. And since the textual installer is broken (it doesn't prompt for the encryption password), and the GPU is not recognized, you may not be able to install Qubes in the first place. Though I have read about workarounds, like installing via VNC and later upgrading to the experimental newer kernel for example. So if you are set on Qubes and want to be sure, I'd suggest to just buy an older model that you find in the HCL, or maybe wait until Qubes 4 is stable. If you are not entirely set on Qubes, but on your model instead, you can of course take the risk and be the one trying the E15 and submitting the HCL for it ;) --Aaron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
