What do you think about installing Qubes OS on this?: ASUS ROG Strix GL503GE
It has this I5-8300H processor, 8th gen core i5, apparently with VT-x and VT-d yes: https://ark.intel.com/products/134876/Intel-Core-i5-8300H-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_00-GHz I read that a IGP is recommended: "Intel IGP (strongly preferred)" (here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/system-requirements/ ) Do all laptops typically include an IGP? This laptop has an IGP, you think, although it has an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050 Ti card? (I do software development. Will use the laptop to compile code, takes 10 - 100 seconds, and run stress tests, and open 100 browser tabs. And ... during development, I don't feel good about pulling down 1 000 Node.js libs and typing `npm start` unless in a Qubes virtual machine :- )) Hardware details: (from this specs: https://www.dustin.se/product/5011079435/rog-strix-gl503ge ) Type of Processor Core i5 Processor Generation 8 Processor Number I5-8300H Clock Speed 2.3 GHz Installed Memory size 8 GB Max Supported Size 32 GB <— I'll upgrade to 32 GB RAM SSD Hard Drive 256 GB Interface Harddrive Serial ATA SSD Form Factor M.2 Hard Drive Type (2nd) HDD Capacity (2nd) 1 TB Display: LED backlight, 15.6", 120 Hz, TFT Technology: TN, 1920 x 1080 Graphics: Nvidia, GTX 1050 Ti, 4 GB, GDDR5 SDRAM.
