What had stopped me (now I got a new notebook and installed QOS again):
I had a very hard time with
-
the usb-keyboard / mouse
easily doable when reading the docs properly -
to get the Yubikey working properly
fixed with web search and community support -
to get a VPN setup
only approach which worked for me was the very well documented step-by-step explanation from: Using Mullvad VPN in Qubes | Micah Lee -
to understand the Qubes device manager with all the sdx / sdx1 / sys-usb …
now, I understand the syntax and I hope the new proposed drop down menu solves it for all newbies.
Something I didn’t like from the early beginning “Qubes OS uses Google services for support” ?!
Now, I’m looking forward to:
-
updated GUI (as presented in the last summit)
-
improved new (incremental) backup routine
currently, I’ve a backup crash which is super critical for me
Keep up the great work here in the community and a big thank you to the dev team!
