A few days ago I was working with a R. Pi and decided I wanted to try to make a R. Pi os template on Qubes. I tried looking it up and only found posts about getting a Qubes to work on a pi. I am relatively new to Qubes and probably did something wrong while trying to get the OS installed. Any help would be appreciated and if I missed a post that was related to this sharing the link would be helpful
There is a legacy x84 Raspberry OS, but it’s 32bit. I don’t know about building a template, but assume it would have to be x86_64, while most Raspberry OS builds are arm.

Raspberries run on arm, which is a different architecture. IIRC there was a Raspberry Pi OS version for x86 (probably not for x64), which probably could be made to run on QubesOS. The easiest way would be probably installing it in a StandaloneVM of type HVM.
However:
- It looks like the latest version for OC is based on Debian 11, see Raspberry Pi OS downloads – Raspberry Pi
- Are you sure you really want it in QubesOS? What’s your goal?
a. Full environment (with PIXEL DE) inside a window, without further integration – maybe doable. I personally usually rather want seamless integration.
b. Seamless integration – maybe also doable, but maybe you could use Debian template instead. Raspberry Pi OS is based on Debian and I am not aware about much of additions that are relevant on other hardware than Raspberry Pi. And Debian templates are already available.
