Not sure what kind of activities you're planning on undertaking with
your computer, but if you're doing any kind of activity that benefits
from OpenGL <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL>, be aware that Qubes
doesn't offer any OpenGL virtualisation
<https://www.qubes-os.org/faq/index.html#can-i-run-applications-like-games-which-require-3d-support>.
Also, just wondering whether Qubes is a good fit for you, given that its
above-average security seems as though it definitely has the
potential of causing a significant performance hit for "work horse" type
activities.
Thanks,
Mark Fernandes

I've been using it for the past 3 years so am pretty sure its a good fit
for me.
As for opengl, i didnt mean to insinuate that i was looking for gaming
(i am not).
And for work horse, i guess i mainly meant i use it for work, and
personal. I regularly have lot of AppVMs running at the same time with
lots of browsers and tabs open and occasionally play around with
digikam, dark table, and gimp so i tend to use quite a bit of memory
(hence wanting more) and with an old circa pre-2013 i5 spinning up
AppVMs is a bit slow/could be a bit faster - ergo, looking to upgrade.
