I have good news. First, I have tried some tasks where I lacked GPU performance, and it is much better now. Not sure what was improved since Qubes 3.0, but it is better in both PVMs (Debian) and HVMs (where GPU emulation is probably handled by stubdom). Second, I got OpenSWR working on Debian

It actually does work for limited use cases. I sometimes run Qubes inside Qubes for quickly testing things ;) The outer VM must be HVM, and the inner-inner VMs must be PVM, or else you must enable some less-tested and potentially dangerous code paths in Xen (nestedhvm=1) which Qubes (on purpose)

[qubes-users] Simple Dom0 password manager for an imperfect-but-strong security upgrade?

I know this isn't an ideal solution, but I suspect it would be pretty darn easy to implement: Obviously, the holy grail of password management should involve not storing passwords (encrypted or otherwise) on any online VM until they instant they are needed. I've been implementing this via
