On: Qubes OS Begins Commercialization and Community Fu...

[slaymaker1907]

Qubes needs to spend more effort on easy of use. The only way that I found actually worked for using Qubes was to install it as the base OS on an entire machine. Running it in a VM, even just for demonstration, does not work. Furthermore, I even tried collaborating with the EmuLab team to get Quebes installed using bareal metal; however, even that is largely impossible due to both the no outside VM constraint as well as the networking isolation of Qubes.

There is a YouTube video where Qubes is installed on VMWARE, but I was not able to even come close to replicating it.

I've actually been able to run Qubes in a VM.

You just need a host that supports nested virtualization. I can't recall what I used, it was either VMware workstation or VirtualBox.

It may have been the hardware I was running on that helped, it was a Dell workstation. Skylake CPU and all that.
