you know this is for something alse.
i will do the same on dual 2nd gen scalable xeons for daily work. cuz of security, but if Qubes wont work i will try Gnome Boxes maybe.
i used Qubes few month ago on i7 lap and i liked it alot, but didnt get the nvidia working. got windoes 7 but not as flawleas as vmware but still.
now with the latest hardeare i just hope ill manage to make it work.
besides Whonix GW is suspicious, it uses alot of cpu(cpu gets hot hot) and there is nothing to see in dom0 or GW terminals htop, once i shutdown Whonix, laptop was idleling cool.
as everything in this world, nothing to good to be true is free and Qubes isnt a exception, and my thoughts were that whonix might do something in backround, dont know what but facts talk.

Don't misinform people, there is a whole list of compatible hardware for Qubes. Mine runs as a charm on a 10 years old ThinkPad T430 upgraded to 16Gb of RAM and SSD.
Dude, you still don't get it, huh?! Qubes is not meant for gaming either Linux or Windows because pass-through real hardware breaks the security mechanism that Qyves provides. You can pass-through some standard USB devices like keyboard, mice or webcam and that's it. No fancy hardware like game controller.
If you want -seamless integration- and have Windows and Linux at the same time, better install a bare metal type 1 hypervisor like VMware ESX or Xen Server. I think that this would be a more interesting video than torturing Qubes OS to do what wasn't intended to do.

The script -qubes-windows-qvm-create- thing was successful for me on 4.0.3. However, there was a small issue that took me a while to figure out. When it begins to install Qubes Tools for Windows, it initially failed and wouldn't finish no matter what I tried. I eventually realized that my Windows 7 ISO hadn't been updated to the current patch level. I used -wsusoffline- from an ISO image to update my Win7 manually. Once it had all the updates, the script worked perfect and I have a near perfect Win7 seemless template, AppVMs run pretty damn well.

In my opinion the idea behind Qubes is something meant for the future, where you are able on a very minimalistic operating system to run applications in their own enviromental box (Windows 10, MacOS, Linux Distrobutions), for each application their own box. The hardware is organized in the system behind everything and it would be assigned to the used box for the application running.
Qubes may not be meant to be for now, but the idea behind is something that might be the future of all systems.

after major updates I let it run 24/7, never turn it off, and so... I spent 2 days for installing printer, spent 3 days configuring display /appearance for 4k monitor, and tweaking configuring and learning for many days... it runs 24/7, and one day I need to reboot... then I realize I forgot password for my drive I do remember my user name pass... but not my drive pass since I only use drive password 2 times... and so I cried my wife ask me why, but I just silent...

I spent hours trying to get this to work on a Dell Precision Xeon machine for my own review of Qubes, and I couldn't get it to play with my NIC. My NIC isn't even that new, nothing about this system was new, but it is a beefy machine I tried multiple builds, all failed. I recorded the intro and even setup my graphics, but no luck. I was excited to do that review too. You did a good job, you always beat me to the same ideas lol.

I really like your videos but I have to share something off topic. Last night I installed Ubuntu 19.10 and it destroyed my HDD physically! As soon as the OS booted there was strange clicking sounds from one of my secondary drivers, soon after the drive went offline and could not be recognized in the BIOS. Quick internet search brought up many articles about Linux damaging Hard drives. LINUX SUCKS!

Bummer to hear. After watching a couple videos on the capabilities of Qubes and looking through its website, I was considering installing it on my laptop. As of its latest release of Jan. 2019 and it still seems that selection of hardware and software integration is a major obstacle for even advanced users. I really want the security of Qubes. What other security alternatives can you recommend ?

I-ve never touched Qubes, but it-s always been my understanding that Qubes is a security OS for a very specific need. I-m not sure what, but the idea that it-s all VMs in and of itself is not a good use of resources for day to day and has mostly been replaced by containers for those that need the core functionality minus the over the top security. Good on you for trying it though!

Qubes is a rather interesting animal. It's a great operating system, but for most people it's just not practical. Most standard users would get confused by it. If privacy is what you are worried about there are other ways to configure your current Linux OS and applications for privacy that are much more user friendly then Qubes.
