Are you using an Nvidia GPU?

There is no tearing on my Librem laptops.

Gnome is too opinionated to adjust it for Qubes: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1806#issuecom...

However you can easily install KDE.

Are we still getting a second RC for 4.2? I remember originally we were told that we would because of the new Qubes builder tool, but I see the milestone jumped to 96% since last I checked, are we getting a full release at the 100% github milestone? Or what happens when it hits 100? https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/milestone/26

This project was never stagnant, a lot of things are always happening here: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues.

Concerning the certified hardware, few vendors try to make the certification, and also coreboot is required: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/certified-hardware/#hardware-ce...

Not precisely, but a lot is going on in this direction: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1939.

I read that there is a plan to implement per-VM encryption (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1293)

Looks like a fix might be close at hand: This pull request is linked to the issue "Hardware support: Ryzen 7000 series / Zen 4 / AM5."

This bug report indicates that "kernel-latest" will be in the next official build of the Qubes 4.1 install ISO. Thing is on the mirrors the last release of 4.1 (actually 4.1.1) was July 18th 2022, and thus the title of this post.

I think the SD module won't be able to have the card flush, as the modules are only and SD cards are 32mm long, and you need some PCB space for the socket cage and the USB-C on the other side. The retrofit PCB outline they provide is only 26.9mm from front edge to back edge, so an SD card will stick out a little bit.

So perhaps they decided to go for the one that lets users have the card flush for use like an expansion bay as well as for data transfer to/from devices.

There are many laptops and desktops that fit the bill.

Frame.work: https://frame.work/

Dell: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000138246/linux-on-...

System76: https://system76.com/laptops

Kubuntu Focus: https://kfocus.org/land/business

I am sure there are more, this is only what I have found in less than 5 minutes of searching.

I'll buy a frame.work long before I touch system76. Their prices are too high for the general feedback I keep seeing on the quality control. I'm not spending 3k+ to be out a laptop until support responds. Especially, considering they still don't make these in house..

No they didn't, companies just mostly gave up on it.

A Framework Laptop (https://frame.work)

You could get a Framework 13 which comes with your choice of a 7840U or 7640U and a Radeon 780M iGPU. They do officially support Linux, and you don't have to pay for a Windows license, if you go the DIY option and chose to not get a Windows license.

Take a look at the Framework laptops. They're 100% modular so if stuff like that goes bad you can simply order the replacement part and do it yourself. I'm using a desktop right now but Ithink my next laptop is gonna be a framework.

a couple of days ago I tried to order a Framework laptop (13 inch AMD). I chose to create an account during the checkout process and provided my email address. After entering my shipping details, I authorized the transfer of the deposit fee via Giropay. The deposit was deducted from my bank account but when I was sent back to the frame.work website I was greeted by an error message. Unfortunately I could neither complete the checkout process nor continue my account registration.
