I wanted to use Qubes however I didn't feel that my usage case would be supported here so I opted for Xubuntu running QEMU and Virtual Machine Manager. I have it working, responding here from a VM. I've been following Qubes since version 1, just not using because of the many security features. AMD Ryzen 2700X, 8 cores, 16 threads 32 GB ram GeForce GT 1030 (desktop GPU) Radeon RX 590 (gaming GPU, pass through, also working) The gaming GPU is blocked in the kernel from the host OS (Xubuntu) with virtio. I suppose virtio could be a security risk. The host OS is restricted to 4 GB (hugepages) and one core (two threads). I have RAID 10 running on the host CPU. KVM shares the host memory however it has one core for itself for iothreads, etc. The rest is available for VMs. Neither of the two CPUs for the host and KVM have ever maxed usage for longer than half a second. I was planning to use bcache to speed up the RAID although I may skip that since I am not feeling a need for speed. RAID 10 is plenty fast when the drives are not spun down. I have SMART monitoring setup too along with temp and fan monitoring. The host runs from an SSD. Next month I will add a backup solution. I have some bloat in the host that I need to clean up. Overall it is a solid setup, certainly not as secure as Qubes. However I don't believe I would have this working with Qubes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
