I've observed that Qubes installation rarely ever succeeds on X370 motherboards so I believe the same case applies to X470 motherboards with a higher chance of failure since it is newer. The reason for this I believe is because these high-end gaming motherboards have alot of functionalities/bugs that break/interfere with Qubes installation which is an awful letdown. So while that mobo having separate IOMMU groups being a plus, it doesn't matter much when you're still in the installation phase of Qubes (Which is the real hard phase to overcome when it comes to Qubes). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
