  • This is an adorable and amazing effort, very cool!

    I'm not sure why the author is having so much pain with Qubes. Indeed the lack of GPU in guest VMs is annoying but it is possible now to assign a GPU to a HVM fairly reliably thanks to all of the VFIO/gaming-on-linux enthusiasm in the past years. Otherwise, I also find that running browsers in multiple VMs on laptop is a problem if you don't disable JS by default because modern websites have become so bloated, it's a tragedy. The LVM remark is also odd. It's very reliable for me, but there is the landmine of running out of space for metadata [0] That said, thin-pools for VM storage allows for some great Time-Machine-esque incremental backups [1]. But for managing multiple development environments, Qubes is a blessing, not even including all the security benefits.

    Another option for Xen fans is XCP-ng + a thin client machine for accessing the VMs. One can also use firejail+Xephyr to achieve graphical isolation [2] (not sure about Wayland).

    It looks like architecture changes in Qubes future [3] may make KVM a reality.

    This is still a very cool effort.
