[qubes-users] How to launch qubes AppVM without qubes os?

I have all files from one of my standalone Qubes 3.0 AppVM. There are some programs that I can't manage to run in my current Linux setup, but they were running fine in that Qubes AppVM. So I want to use that AppVM under ordinary Linux. How can I do that? -- You received this message because yo

Command qvm-run '$dispvm' xterm if called from an appVM will run xterm in a new dispVM. If attacker gained access to an appvm, he possibly can run script, that will create thousands of new dispVMs and freeze my computer. I don't like this. May be it's better to disable this functionality by de

May be just a dedicated mailing list, or may be something better. Qubes OS customization is specific, because we don't want to harm security. I'd like to have a place, where I can share with others how I did XYZ in qubes, but I don't want to distract everyone here. It would be perfect, if that

AFAIK you will need to gave 2 GPUs if you want to pass one to VM. On PC you can buy one more GPU, but on laptop that might be a problem. Some laptops have 2 GPUs: one discrete, and one inside a CPU. Still, on some laptops (MSI GT72 for example), there are 2 GPUs, but they can not run simultaneo
