So I am not very much a hardware guy. I want to build a machine to dual-boot Ubuntu (for development, rider IDE, etc. etc.) and also Qubes. Perhaps Windows as well at some point in the future.
I would like dual monitor support on the MB, and the ability to support 2 PCIE SSDs
My current Plan is:
Gigabyte Z890M GAMING X Intel LGA 1851 microATX Motherboard
Intel® Core™ i9-14900KF
128GB Memory
I didn’t see these specifically listed on the HCL page. But I made sure to check that the MB does have intel graphics, like the docs say.
I am having a hard time confirming if this MB supports the VT-X that Qubes needs
The CPU is pretty new so I assume it should support the VTX/EPD & VT-D support the system requirements page refers to.
Can anyone tell me if I’m going wrong here, maybe suggest a better setup?
Appreciate advice re: dual boot, will keep in mind. When I get schooled and truly serious I will build out another dedicated machine, but for now I can do both and have a killer development machine.
Seemed relevant. Renehoj posts have illuminated me on recent issues with Intel CPUs as well as what kind of qubes performance is possible with a well configured modern desktop. Generally Intel has easier compatibility than AMD
