QubesOS was my main driver for a couple of years, but I have to say that the low battery life compared to only software rendering got pretty annoying after a while. Depending on the hardware, you'll need to possibly disable certain options in the BIOS/UEFI, like for an t490 that I documented: https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/Z0Kfm53zMxQ/m/IV-AeXE0FAAJ https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/Z0Kfm53zMxQ/m/IV-A...

- nullc 2y agoThe only serious alternative to Qubes from a security perspective is to use multiple computers. That alternative presumably has better security, but also generally worse usability (particularly if you're going to be mobile! -- two laptops in your bag might be acceptable but comparable isolation would require more than two).
