On my first install, I can attest. Lol

Seems like they could give you a way out, but I guess that would be a vulnerability. At least a check for non-usb device? Lol
It would. And yes, it would be amazing if the installer would scan your device, because sometimes we read the instructions but choose to roll the dice of violence instead of verifying. lol


I need to get around to installing and learning that system.
Rolling the dice with any GNU/Linux system can be a nightmare though 😂 The OS/kernel that will happily let you rek yourself.
Indeed. Yeah, as long as your hardware is compatible (lists on the website), I highly recommend checking it out. I literally bought my laptop just to run it better.
After a couple years I bounced to Fedora for a minute so I could get better video and gaming performance (you can't game on QubesOS without a dedicated GPU for passthrough), then Windows 11 for a tick because of a Lenovo dock issue, but I keep coming back.
QubesOS works like my brain works... privacy and security through isolation and compartmentalization. All running on the Xen hypervisor on bare metal. It truly is best in class at what it does.
