notes

  • had to add some iommu, i915 and other kernel options to get installer to even load/boot - cannot find specifics on readthedocs - I think it was mentioned in the actual installer READMEs.
  • had to disable intel software raid in bios for it to detect nvme disks
  • had to add ā€˜options snd_hda_intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N’ to /etc/modprobe.d/snd_hda_intel.conf
  • had to mess around with xsetwacom --set to ā€˜calibrate’ the touchscreen as I have 2nd monitor (Samsung S34J550WQE) attached via DP
  • fingerprint reader seemed recognized but have not tested it yet.
  • Performance is ā€œOKā€:
    • Run about 7 qubes, including dom0 and 3x sys-* and 1x vpn - so can handle around 2-3 additional active ā€˜big template’ qubes (depending on workloads), minimal templates/lite qubes/alpine qubes are a WIP but should further improve performance.
    • Video performance is unstable - when it works it works great, but when it does not it becomes sluggish. Still troubleshooting as it was working fine but I think a recent 4.3rc1 kernel/dom0 update or grub/uefi/x11 config clobber changed something (maybe the ā€˜intel driver’ as it now uses modesetting) and as such recently video playback on the second monitor has become unusable - 13" laptop monitor works fine however.
