Everything that works on Linux will generally work on Qubes, apart from the GPU-heavy applications [0], which will be addressed in the future [1]. Copying and pasting works fine [2].

The linked Issue #8553 is "just" about creating a toggle for GPU acceleration. It's blocked by Issue #8552 [0], which is the actual Issue about the acceleration and originally belonged to Milestone "Release 4.3". It seems to have been removed later, which I didn't expect or know about. Accusation of lying was completely unnecessary in your comment. Moreover, the Milestone was removed not because they changed their mind about the Release but for other reasons [1].

> They plan to add GPU acceleration in the next release: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8553 You say they're planning to add a feature in the next release, but what you linked to is merely an uncompleted to-do item for creating a UI switch to toggle a feature that hasn't been written yet. I think you win the prize for the most ridiculous exaggeration in this thread. Unless you can link to something that actually comes anywhere close to supporting your claim, you're just recklessly lying.

There are a couple imprecise or omitted details about the OS in the text. > Qubes OS is designed to be a single-user desktop operating system At the moment, it's true, but multi-user support is planned: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8958 > Note that the Qubes website and documentation tend to use the term "VM" and "qube" interchangeably This is because in the future a "qube" will be able to run on independent hardware: https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2018/01/22/qubes-air. Then, VM and qube will not necessarily be the same thing. > For example, installing software on a Fedora desktop is usually as simple as "dnf install package". But installing software to use within a Fedora-based qube requires several additional steps on Qubes OS, plus restarting VMs If the software is from the main repo, you do the same "dnf install packa

ge" in a template. There are no other steps apart from restarting the App VM (which can also be avoided if necessary). > Then again, it's also not encouraged—Bluetooth isn't considered secure, so why focus on making it easier to configure? You can use Bluetooth securely on Qubes OS (but it does require some effort to set up): https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/7750#issuecom...
