QubesOS-Scripts
My scripts for setting up QubesOS.
Running these scripts should be very straight forward. For the default Fedora template, run fedora-gnome.sh to trim it down first.
After you are done running those scripts, any other script can be used in a different template based on those trimmed down templates to create their respective virtual machines.
If you want to install Flatpak packages, install them inside of an AppVM as a user Flatpak and enable the update-user-flatpaks.service as a user systemd service for automatic updates.
It is recommended that you follow the docs here to make a prompt for root access on non-minimal VMs. dom0.sh already takes care dom dom0 so you only need to worry about the guests.
Laptop Recommendations
Qubes AEM currently still requires legacy boot. Officially, the last generation of Intel CPUs with VBIOS to support legacy boot Coffee Lake. However, I have found that certain Comet Lake Thinkpads still have legacy support.
I recommend that you look though Lenovo's BIOS simulator to find a suitable Comet Lake Thinkpad. These will have the longest remaining support lifecycle. Personally, I use a Thinkpad T14 gen 1.
Lenovo ePrivacy
Lenovo ePrivacy can be controlled through /proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow. I use the following shortcuts:
- F5:
sudo bash -c 'echo 1 > /proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow' - F6:
sudo bash -c 'echo 0 > /proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow'
