First of all, thanks a lot Yuraeitha and tai...@gmx.com, your help is truly appreciated.
@Yuraeitha Concerning support for the required features for Qubes 4.x, AMD - unlike Intel - doesn't segment their market by removing certain features, and AMD-V and AMD-Vi are fortunately present and supported in most of their CPUs. The problem however is whether the motherboard/bios/... support those features. And that's why I'm asking to see whether an owner of an AMD based laptop (with no PSP) got Qubes 4.0-rc2 working as intended. Now, concerning performance: I only do some web dev work so there's nothing fancy about my performance needs. Also I do plan to upgrade the RAM to 16Go as well as buy an SSD. > For this chip, does it have the privacy invasive blob? or is it without? It doesn't have AMD's PSP, I used "pre-2013" to mean before or at 2013 :) @tai...@gmx.com Thanks a lot for the suggestion, based on some forum posts on their support it seems that AMD-V is supported with the proprietary BIOS[1] but I could find nothing about AMD-Vi, and this HCL report didn't test for AMD-Vi support with the proprietary BIOS[2].
