Hi Teqleez,

Can you name some example tools / use cases? Why would that be Qubes
specific as opposed to be template specific (reusing tools from e.g.
Manjaro)?

I'm sorry to see you struggle that much. Do you experience these issues
also on your Manjaro machine or just on Qubes? I too have frequent use
cases with two USB3 HDDs connected and have not observed any problem
(moving data between them).

You might want to create a USB qube, which will have several advantages
for you:

1) increased security (dom0 never sees your USB device and whatever you
   connect is isolated in the USB qube)

2) assigning USB devices to other qubes still works

3) you could use the USB qube itself exactly as you would your
   standalone Manjaro machine (the USB controller is attached to that
   qube)

What is your spec? I used Qubes for many months with 8 GB which was
usable but sometimes showed limitations. Now with 32 GB I have not seen
any issues (frequently running 12+ qubes in parallel)

Restarting a qube should be very fast ... I start to think you are
maybe experiencing hardware issues. Maybe your computer is not well
suited to run Qubes, maybe your USB controller has issues?

You lost me there. Could you explain your meaning a bit more?

Could you name examples. Do such tools exist on other distributions?
