'kht-lists' via qubes-users:
I like the sounds of this option. My "production" workstation has two monitors with a VM running on the right monitor in portrait mode (always on visible workspace) which I use for general purpose web browsing on one workspace, my ISP orivided email on a second workspace with 2 workspaces to spare. The left monitor, landscape mode, points to the host OS and has 6 workspaces. One is dedicated to another VM which I use to access my Protonmail and Lavabit accounts (one per Firefox or Thunderbird instance in separate workspaces). The other 5 workspaces are used as needed for whatever I might be doing. This might include a remote desktop viewer to various other servers etc., other VMs and so on. I have not computed the number of possible permutations between the two monitors but it is probably larger than I want to know :-) I would be a challenge to replicate this functionality in qubes-os and I need to procure some new hardware as this workstation is the only machine I have with the necessary features to support qubes-os.
Qubes' default is XFCE which has workspaces too. Each application is in its own independent window even if they're running on different VMs underneath. You can move them around to any workspace. It will make more sense when you try it.
Thank you for your insightful reply. I guess I need to upgrade my main workstation (it is an i7-6700) to something more powerful and then devote it to qubes-os.
If you have the necessary virtualization features, the next most important things are lots of RAM (32 GB is comfortable, 16 GB isn't bad) and a large enough SSD for the OS and your heavily used VMs. CPU and GPU don't matter much for performance. Intel or AMD for video are more Qubes compatible than nvidia.
