This is my hardware where Ill try to install, so far I was not successful even though I did not get any error at install time:
SATELLITE P50-B-11M (PSPNUE-02L044CE)
Display (LGD0470): 1920x1080 in 16", 60 Hz [Built-in]
RAM Memory: 16 GiB
Graphics:
CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i7-4720HQ (8) @ 3.60 GHz
GPU 1: AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series with 2GB dedicated RAM
I know that qubes works better with intel integrated which is the next one I have
GPU 2: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller @ 1.20 GHz [Integrated]
Disk: 1TB ssd with a partition with ubuntu bit more of 500GB available just for Qubes because I will install qubes if I can replacing ubuntu. The other partitions at the beginning of the disk are for windows
Virtualization:
Intel Core i7-4720HQ @ 3.60 GHz (Haswell mobile)
Cores/Threads: 4/8
Flags (Virtualization support): vmx, ept, unrestricted_guest, vpid
VT-x (Intel Virtualization Technology): present
EPT / SLAT: present
VT-d / IOMMU: not present at the moment of writing this message BUT I tried something in grub and will check later if it worked, which is:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash intel_iommu=on iommu=pt”
Some help will be very much appreciated. Im totally new in qubes

Functionality, performance, and other benefits of this feature may vary depending on system configuration.
I can’t find this model on toshiba website, try to check with their support if VT-d / IOMMU should work on your device
Describe your device hardware in less in basic terms:
CPU
GPU/iGPU
Ram
Any special information regrading bios, if relevant (heads, coreboot, AMI and etc.)
But more important, explain what you did and what you get.
For example: I flash qubesos 4.3.0 with rufus from windows machine, media check pass/fail, in boot process an issue/crash take place with/without error and etc.
Also regrading Lenovo P16 Gen1 you welcome to use forum search, this model have issues and owners of it share their solutions.
I have good news.
Chatgpt told me how to activate full virtualiation with commands from ubuntu So now I have vt-x and vt-d active as you can see on the bellow output after rebooting. bear in mind that this toshiba laptop does not have the option to activate tv-d IOMMU at bios level BUT chatgpt told me some commands to activate it and then reboot. It looks like it works.
So now the only thing is the GPU BUT I still have the intel GPU embedded on the CPU so I dont understand why qubes is not able to use the intel and dont pay attention to the amd gpu. Actually ubuntu does this by default. After installing ubuntu Im just using the intel gpu from the CPU. If I want to use the amd gpu I need to configure it load modules on kernel, install drivers… same situation in thnkpad wtih nvidia gpu, ubuntu just pay attention and uses intel embedded gpu by default. If you want to use nvidia you need to troubleshoot, load modules, install drivers …
