HCL - HP Probook 450 G9

Remarks

After first experiencing moderate graphics glitching and Wifi issues, I:

  1. updated the kernel to 5.15.89 using qubes-dom0-update kernel-latest, and
  2. followed the instructions in this topic

Afterward, everything worked well.

NOTE: I have not tested using the originally-spec’ed Realtek RTL8852AE Wifi/BT card, as they put the wrong one in anyway, so I replaced it with an Intel AX200NGW, even before I installed Qubes.

I have been using this laptop as a daily driver for QubesOS for several weeks with otherwise good results.

As with many reports here, suspend doesn’t work, although I don’t use it so I have not done extensive troubleshooting yet.

I have a daisy-chained 2 dock/hub setup out of the full-functioned USB-C port, which VERY happily drives 3x 1920x1080 monitors in addition to the integrated 1920x1080, gigabit networking, and an external SSD in addition to several additional USB A ports. All USB devices are recognized perfectly by in the Qubes devices widget. During normal use under this setup, the dom0 CPU usage sits at about 2-5% (20-50% of 1 core).
