I tried using Qubes as a daily driver for a couple of weeks, and wrote up my experiences:

Overall an impressive and surprisingly well functioning software, given what it does.

Unfortunately - which I didn't write in the post yet, should do - is that I felt I had to switch back to a normal distro again because of a combination of a couple of annoyances:

- The need to manually redirect the USB-keyboard to each qube

- The fact that I couldn't get Debian-based Qubes to respect the font size settings

- The overall relative slowness of the system, causing some already slow software to be even slower

- The last straw: Inability to run Virtualbox VMs in Qubes (which I use to create some course content etc).

Often connected to the fact that hyperthreading is enabled in BIOS (and it shouldn't be).

In general, you should try to ask for help on the Qubes forums. Most problems get resolved quickly.
