I did too, and rhgb. I hate the graphical boot screen. Just comes with being a 
sys-admin I guess. I like to see what the computer's doing. ipv6, yeah, I 
always have that disabled. It's not needed after all. I turn it off in all 
guests too.

I'll have to take a look at apparmor, but I wish it wasn't american product.

Nice post :)

Minor correction: "It copies the trusted PDF back to the VM" - that
would mean that compromised DispVM (by the very same PDF) could pass it
back unmodified instead of the sanitized one. It isn't what is done
there - it pass only very simple representation of the file (bitmap in
this case), then reassemble PDF in the calling VM.
But I'm not sure if it worth mentioning in a high level description.

First things I've always done  is take off quiet and disable ipv6 on bare metal 
linux grub.  haven't bothered on qubes.

Ya chromium works good in qubes.  I don't get the fullscreen issue.  and 
default apparmor works fine with it too.   You can see how to setup apparmor 
from whonix instructions, and use same method on debian template.
