Beelink SER5 Pro Mini PC Qubes OS Compatibility?

User Support Hardware Issues
1

I’ve been doing research on Linux and Qubes OS for the last few weeks. I am now considering getting a mini PC to run Qubes OS.

Anyone know by chance if these hardware specifications will work with Qubes OS?

  • Beelink SER5 Pro Mini PC
  • AMD Ryzen 7 5825U/5850U, 8C/16T
  • AMD Radeon Graphics 8core 2000MHz
  • 32GB DDR4 RAM, 500GB NVME SSD
  • WiFi6/BT5.2/54W/HTPC/W-11

Use cases:

  • Veracrypt and KeePassXC for maximum security during encryption process (since Qubes OS is as close to airgap as my tech skills can manage).
  • Banking and other financial stuff.
  • Private web browsing for research and downloading PDF books when needed.

Would this machine be overkill if it does work? Or is there a cheaper option that’ll do the job? Thanks in advance for info!
