I really like the concept of Qubes. But they really need (imho) to work on their hardware compatibility list. I didn't investigate laptops much but last time I checked (2 or 3 months ago) they didn't have a fully supported (desktop) motherboard that can be bought new.

I tried to install it on my computer, it didn't work. I'd buy a new desktop just for Qubes if I had the guaranty that it would be fully supported. I'm not spending money just to discover that it won't run with my shiny new hardware.

I used it on my Thinkpad x220 and NUC 5th gen (BOXD54250WYKH) and it worked great. https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/ - The HCL is pretty decent actually. But since they have to work on older Linux Kernel and Xen releases for stability/security and the hardware needs to have VT-d, TPM, HVM/VMX etc enabled - they will always be lagging in terms of the newer hardware they can support.

Might want to try out the BOXD54250WYKH1 NUC - Amazon is still selling it.

You forgot to update the HCL with your NUC ;-)
