Hardware brands which you trust to run Qubes

@Sven

Would you at least be able to tell if your system has been compromised?

That entirely depends on your skill level and the time / effort you put into detection. But again, consider who you think you are up against.

Actually, no, there is no way to know if your system is (not) compromised. See also: Compromise recovery in Qubes OS | Qubes OS.

I think of it more as realistic.

Every defeatist person would say that

However, I agree that

@Sven

there is a pretty big danger of mental illness at the end of it all.

And this is why I am simply trying to make “their” work harder, nothing more.

@ubersecure

Can you at least speculate on how they would violate your system, let’s say assuming they have to this remotely

Through the speculative CPU vulnerabilities, they could get any password of yours via javascript on random websites. Through Intel ME they (maybe) could own your system, too.

However, this is an off-topic here and we should not continue this discussion in this thread.
