Qubes on DELL XPS 15 9520

Hello everybody,

I am using Qubes on DELL XPS 15 9520 for my private laptop and I enjoy it, however it is clear that I am not using either the laptop or the qubes at they true potential.

I am curious if there are other users (I know of @yerill) that are using DELL XPS 15 9520, therefore I started this Topic.

I also attached an HCL export for reference.

Currently I use the standard qubes and Kali and a Windows 11. No big complains, but few topics are annoying:

  • unless fully powered (and plugged) the laptop does not perform at its peak
  • I can not hibernate in windows
  • attaching a headset and the laptop camera to the windows qube is not stable and I can not have video confs in windows, therefore I need to change to personal/firefox (which works better but not ideal either)

Anybody any ideas how to fix those?
Are you having different issues?
Is it anywhere a list with the test cases that I can perform and check the functionalities?
How can I make a LOCAL qube to observe the performance of Qubes in general and look for bottlenecks?

All the best,
