[qubes-users] power9 and qubes os

2017-06-23 Thread 'Johnysecured88' via qubes-users
Seriously, is power9 support at least a possibility for qubes os? It seems 
absurd that we should only focus on x86 given how locked down and backdoored it 
is.

I understand compiling for another arch is not difficult, but are there not any 
special requirements from Qubes/Xen which are ISA based?

[qubes-users] devs - any plans to bring qubes os to power9?

2017-06-18 Thread 'Johnysecured88' via qubes-users
Are there any plans to bring qubes os to power9? It's a much more open platform 
and has a much better long term outlook than x86. I understand qubes os is open 
source but I'm assuming there are very low level things going on that need to 
be ported.

Any comments from the devs?

[qubes-users] qemu and Power9 platform

2017-06-09 Thread 'Johnysecured88' via qubes-users
Talos2 is being released soon with the Power9 CPU.

This is perfect except for it not being x86. So I am wondering if there is a 
way to use qemu within qubes os to simulate x86 to run windows.

Is this possible right now? Will it be possible in the future? It would be a 
great setup to have Power9 and Coreboot on Talos2, along with the ability to 
run Windows apps (even on qemu with the power9 cpu it should be very efficient)
