On some packages & web interfaces it is worse than that :(

For example on the gmail app for Android, it hides the quoted text, so it is
far too easy for a newcomer to this forum to not even realise what you meant
when you said "scroll to the bottom of the text."

To be able to bottom post on such platforms, you need to enable the quoted 
text,
typically and confusingly Google calls this "Respond in line". Having done 
that,
the user can then follow your advice to scroll past deleting on the way.

I know this is off topic, but we can help ppl do things the Qubes way if we 
all
try to give them the most detailed advice.

Bottom posting reads better, but so many other forums use top posting, and 
too
many apps nudge this behaviour, so we are likely to have to go on 
explaining this.

Pretty much, thank you. It's also considerate to trim parts of the prior

That's correct, but the kernel= line also passes along kernel
configuration options. For example, i915.alpha_support=1 is a kernel
option, not Xen. Add your custom options at the end of that line.

Am I doing things rigth now?

So, xen.cfg contains things like

[4.14.74-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64]
options=loglvl=all dom0_mem=min:1024M dom0_mem=max:4096M iommu=no-igfx

ramdisk=initramfs-4.14.74-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64.img
[4.19.71-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64]

which seem to be configuratioons to xen. Xen.efi gives me giant text with

I'm starting to think you are ideologically wedded to top-posting.
Believe me, once you've tried bottom posting you will never understand
why you did this.
I guess your mail software outs the cursor at the top of the message
when you h=it "Reply". Ignore this broken piece of garbage.Take
control. Scroll to the bottom of the message, deleting any
unnecessary stuff on the way, and start typing. This will take you seconds,
compared to the minutes, perhaps hours, that other users will spend
flipping between top and bottom of the message, trying to understand
what's going on.
Try it.

e in hand - look at the contents of the (*flip to top of message,
sighs*) xen.cfg and xen.efi files. Is one of those the one you are
booting from?
(Not being a UEFI person - is there really no grub screen?)

The convention on these lists is to post at the bottom of the message,
so that a new reader can follow the sense by reading downwards. Can you
try to do that? All you have to do is scroll to the bottom and
start typing. Thanks.

So do you have /boot/efi/EFI?
What are contents?

I have that file but I use standard(legacy) boot. Did you install with UEFI?
If you are using UEFI, I believe you can install a EFI shell and boot
into it to test change parameters. Or you can edit the file at
/boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg to add your parameters.

NB I dont like UEFI and dont use it, but I think that pointer is right.
As always, back up any system files before you start changing them.
