Qubes OS daily use review - OS quest ep. 2

I've dumped Lenovo's BIOS for the lovely Coreboot with SeaBIOS and SeaVGABIOS. What's the best companion for a fully open firmware? Qubes OS!

I've been using Qubes as my daily driver (together with some FreeBSD time on my W530) and it's time to see what's the hype about.

It's quite a chore to capture Qubes OS when you have SeaVGABIOS, so I'm just pointing my camera at it. Sorry about that.

I came late to watch the video late, but I am interested in the hardware side, why do you think your laptop represents the concept of Qubes? If you wold like to create another video about that, I think it will be a great idea. (I have subscribed in case you are interested to answer my question).

It won’t let me download apps easy I was able to do telegram and the one you showed but for some reason had very hard time getting much else as far as apps/vpn to work. If I could figure those out I’d be golden.

What happens if you install Qubes on an infected machine??? I have a machine that was targeted with an Evil Maid attack. I cannot afford to remove the Hard Drive and replace it. But someone told me that I should install Qubes on it. What is your opinion? Please advise.
