It’s worth giving it another shot. I first ran QubesOS on an older ROG Strix that was mostly compatible, and it handled it surprisingly well. I fell in love with the OS and wanted to run it on hardware that could actually do it justice.
When I upgraded, I checked both compatibility lists and learned that newer doesn’t mean better or compatible. So when it was time for a new laptop, I literally chose a recommended ThinkPad off that list to run QubesOS, and it’s been solid for years now.
