[qubes-users] HCL - HP G62 (submodel 318CA)

[Theo Jaklitsch]

Qubes 3.2 works far better than I ever expected it to on this machine.
Wireless networking and the USB Qube work fine right out the box.  Only
seems to chug when starting up.  Sometime runs out of memory with more than
2 appVMs open.

*Issues and potential issues:*


*- *If you want to run Qubes (<4.0) on this get a fast 7mm SATA SSD, I went
with the *Samsung 850 Evo*.  This laptop is painful for running even a
single Linux distro on bare metal without one.

*- *Make sure you enable virtualisation technology in the BIOS before
installing.

*- *S4 Sleep/Hibernate does not seem to work at all. All the options for it
just blank the screen and put xScreenSaver up (doesn't even turn off
backlight).  Not sure if this is Qubes in general or just on this setup.

*- *Screen backlight doesn't seem to want to turn off while the rest of the
system is running. No matter what settings I fiddle with.

*- *This laptop comes with a tiny amount of ram so changing the sys-* qubes
to minimal templates
 and lowering their
starting ram is probably valuable.  Maybe make your own based on something
really light like *Alpine Linux*  or a
unikernal
.
(play with the resource settings in general)

Purism says they are diabling it by default on all laptops they are sending out 
now.

Now if only the hardware was just slightly more powerfull and future oriented.
