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.

For people who don't want to use ZFS but are okay with LVM: wyng-backup (formerly sparsebak)

Tasket/wyng-backup: Fast Time Machine-like backups for logical volumes\ (3 comments)

Backups: This is a major problem for internet-isolated VMs. For internet-isolated VMs, I use this tool: https://github.com/tasket/wyng-backup. But it does only backup the Qube from the shutdown state. The Qube doesn't need to be shutdown, but it doesn't use the live volume. (You can actually run it on live volumes, but it's not supported for that.) In internet-connected VMs, I just use restic or borg. You're right that an offline backup solution is actually more complicated in this regard. The simple way of attaching a USB drive will only attach to one Qube at a time. Now there should be a way to attach the USB drive to only a backup qube, and do some sort of passthrough between the Qubes, but I don't know exactly how to do this.
