@dekkzz76 Yeah. Such is #Debian life.

I could do it with #Guix, but then that means my configurations aren't portable to those #qubes and machines on which I purposely do not put Guix. And while I could handle an additional layer of environment variability... I really don't feel like it.

bin sehr begeistert dass es nun auch in #qubes 4.2 so einfach wie in einer bare metal linux installation ist ein #bluetooth headset zu verbinden, vorher hatte ich mich wohl irgenwie glatt angestellt.

Day 10: changing the game. #qubes doesn’t work as I would like with my external docks. The reason is CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI support disabled in kernel. Since it’s by design, and consistent with #qubesos focus on strict security, I see no point in compiling my own kernel (I think the last kernel I compiled was a 2.4 🫣) and even less in fighting a lifelong war with my setup. I’ll try to “roll my own” alternative, with similar networking concepts, and more lax hardware security.

Day 9: is it me, is it Qubes, or is it UEFI? Debian 12 live Kde Plasma edition, up and running with no additional config: thunderbolt dock connected and detected, all peripherals working (incl. usb audio amplifier), displays on, lid closed. It’s doable. #debian #qubes #qubesos

Days 7-8: I’m fighting with the hardware. Thunderbolt docks aren’t recognized properly, and usb-c hubs are a nuisance, at best. I need to investigate some more, but apparently #qubesos kernel doesn’t support PCI hotplug, so I should boot connected to the docking, but I can’t get them to work even if I do (which isn’t the best option, but I can live with that). Tomorrow I’ll try a live Debian 12, to look at some logs… #qubes

Have any #blind people used #Qubes and is it #accessible? I've been wanting to try it for a while. #QubesOS #accessibility

Day 5: spent some time cloning templates and configuring VPN qubes, so not much to show and tell. Right after packing for the evening, “let’s try, worse it will do, it will kernel panic”. It didn’t. Qubes and Caldigit Ts3, external display. Much still to be tweaked, but we definitely have a signal. #qubes #qubesos

Day 4: since I use VPNs a lot (the remote access thing, not the “hide my ip to Netflix” ones), I found this tutorial extremely useful. The VPN type of course must be adjusted to one’s needs, so it doesn’t apply entirely to my case, but it definitely pointed me in the right direction: VPN dedicated qubes between AppVM ones and sys-firewall. https://micahflee.com/2019/11/using-mullvad-in-qubes/ #qubes

Day 3: problems. I ran into an error while trying to setup the system (I think I haven’t used LVM in >10 years), and ended up with a half installed Qubes which I didn’t understand how to use (too many stuff was on the documentation, but not on my machine). A couple of format/install cycles later, and I got it right. Distro is in alpha state (4.2a), and also my understanding of it. #qubes

Day 3: choices. I thought that since my machine spends most of its time connected to docking stations, and all of them include network adapters (also, no gigabit port on the laptop itself), sys-net and sys-usb should go together. Also, I made sys-firewall non disposable (this might be unnecessary if configs are kept across restarts) #qubes

Day 3: it doesn’t just boot the installer, it is working! #qubes #milestones (installation problems and choices coming soon)

Day 2.1, joking: does it even boot? Turns out, it does. #qubes

Day 2, last for today: getting the install media ready. #qubes

I've noticed that I don't see people talking about #qubes anymore. I wonder if that's because the sort of person who's that serious about security doesn't post stuff on the internet.

Since I’m already using #haikuos and Linux, are there any other alternative OSes which are viable to run on a laptop? Is anyone using #genode or #qubes ? What else is there? I’m not asking about mainstream e.g. #bsd
