2023, but has been updated and iterated on over time, so should be reasonably current.
It is... still an awful lot of work, though. I'm glad it can be done, though I've certainly not been motivated enough to try. I just keep a different machine around for anything gaming-ish, and don't worry about it.
That said, if you have skipped out on trying Qubes because you think you lack sufficient hardware, my Qubes daily driver (and primary computer for personal use) is a 2015-era Lenovo X250, with a 2C/4T I7-5600U, 16GB RAM, and a SATA SSD. It's limited in some ways, I can feel when I'm trying to do too much on it, but it is quite useful, and has been for some while. The memory balancing between AppVMs works nicely, and you can safely reduce memory allocation for a lot of VMs. A lot of my running Debian12 VMs are between 1GB and 2GB practical allocation, and work just fine.
Hi there. I just wanted to say that I like your blog, specifically the little kitty that follows your cursor. Incredible how endearing that little animation is!
