Overall, it works well, I anticipate moving to it as my daily driver when 4.2 is released. I need to pause my testing for now, so posting what I have observed so far below.
- It is required to set
x2apic=false
before the first boot to successfully configure sys-net/sys-firewall qubes. If this parameter is set, then the whole process of installation, qubes configuration, and first launch goes without errors. - Suspend does not work, the laptop hangs when going to sleep.
- The iGPU renders the UI smoothly, not like the last time I started to use Qubes with a modern Intel CPU.
- Fresh installation of Qubes OS boots fast - it takes a little over a minute.
- Battery seems to be discharging around 3 times faster when watching a video compared to doing the same in Windows.
I also encountered a few minor issues with Qubes specific to this laptop, but they seemingly out of scope of your question.
