Qubes can be installed on many systems that do not meet the recommended requirements. Such systems will still offer significant security improvements over traditional operating systems, since things like GUI isolation and kernel protection do not require special hardware.

Intel VT-x or AMD-v technology (required for running HVM domains, such as Windows-based AppVMs). Intel VT-d or AMD IOMMU technology (required for effective isolation of network VMs and PCI passthrough).

Qubes-certified computers are certified for a major release and regularly tested by the Qubes developers to ensure compatibility with all of Qubes’ features within that major release. The developers test all new updates within that major release to …

2023年12月28日 · Don’t forget to pick a CPU with integrated graphics, that’s enough for Qubes OS usage and this allows you to add a dedicated GPU if you ever need it for a qube. And it will save watts as even a minimal GPU will draw an extra 15 or 20 watts even doing nothing.

CPU: 64-bit Intel or AMD processor (also known as x86_64, x64, and AMD64) Intel VT-x with EPT or AMD-V with RVI. Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi (also known as AMD IOMMU) Memory: 16 GB RAM. Storage: 128 GB free space. High-speed solid-state drive strongly recommended. Graphics: Intel integrated graphics processor (IGP) strongly recommended

2021年7月26日 · What I want to know is: If cost isn’t an issue, what would the ideal CPU for Qubes OS look like, in terms of technology available today or in the near future? What attributes of the CPU would, for example, lower VM start-up time, or make it more suitable for Xen workloads, all while being secure?

This also caused the sys-usb qube to constantly burn CPU. I’d recommend if you want to use Qubes for now you should definitely use the Beta, but DO NOT choose to set up a dedicated sys-usb. Anyway just a quick upate, if you use one of these laptops and have been interested in trying out Qubes OS, now is indeed a great time to check your ...

2025年1月23日 · Powered by the Type-1 Xen hypervisor, Qubes OS provides a highly secure working environment by compartmentalizing all apps and services inside isolated environments. In simple terms, Qubes OS...

2023年4月15日 · If you have an Alder Lake or newer Intel CPU, you probably want the option to load a qube on the P or E cores, and this might help someone who is new to xen. https://dev.qubes-os.org/projects/core-admin/en/latest/libvir…

Moved my wife’s workstation into the white one and rebuilt my own PC in the black one with a few upgrades. GPU idle = 42c / Load = ~70c (this is running older titles like Dishonored 1/2, MGS V, and AC Origins - haven't tested with Cyberpunk or Red Dead II just yet). Thanks for building in the QUBE, what are your temperatures like?
