Hi, I want to install a fully virtualized Fedora 43 workstation in a standalone HVM, but the boot and interaction in the live installer is so bad that it is hardly usable. Everything takes a long time and the latency is high.
Are there any optimizations in the Qube Manager?
How can I actually turn the HVM into a full screen? I can’t do that either.
Thank you all in advance for your help.
Edit: System is T480 with i5-8350U and 16GB RAM
in your HVM settings (Advanced’s tab) did you try to increase memory/cpu?
Thanks for the link, unfortunately the fullscreen mode does not work for me, although I have set it on in the advanced settings of my Qube.
It’s a little better, but I’m not thrilled. I used GNOME Boxes and Virt Manager back then, even VirtualBox sometimes and, frankly, it ran faster, more performant.
I’ve now given my VM 4GB of RAM and 8VCPUs, even though my host itself only has 4 physical cores.
Unless you have multi-threading enabled using my vCPUs than your actual number of physical CPUs will degrade performance.
My machine is so much slower on Qubes than running linux on bare metal. I’d expect others to experience similar slowdowns. It seems like that’s just the tradeoff you make with Qubes
If you don’t have second gpu to pass thru it to this hvm then all graphics is done by cpu and display from this qube (as from others) is done by cpu memory copy.
Saying that it’s slow is saying nothing.
Since you have 4 core cpu and just 16gb memory (bare usable) you should either refrain from big projects or go to normal linux with containers.
That’s sad reality.
My laptop uses 12gb of ram just after start (dom0, sys-audio, sys-net, sys-firewal and sys-usb).
With 32gb of ram and 10 physical cores I must hold myself from running to much qubes at a time. Usually 13-14 at a time (in total, including system ones).
Thank you all for your answers. It seems that I will have to accept the restrictions.
