When Qubes gets a separate GUIVM, the risks of GUI virtualization could become lower, because the GUIVM is expected to be more up-to-date (and thus have recent security updates for the drivers) than the current dom0. The GUI virtualization should be optional (so user can choose the reasonable

I think that Qubes needs 3 things to really take off: 1. It Just Works. Even on new systems with new hardware. That means an up-to-date kernel and drivers. Probably not an LTS. It also means getting UEFI to work out of the box — it doesn't for me. That also means recent installers that are

Interesting, I haven't noticed the thread you mentioned. The thread I referenced to was more than a year ago. So if I read through it quickly, this guy had succeeded in passing through his GTX980, but it went wrong on the driver installation (code 43). This is expected, as nVidia disables the
