I've been lurking on Qubes channels for a long time. For one particular minor version some years ago 25% of the TODOs were small quality of life improvements that I had suggested. My story is that I've tried to use Qubes but have ended up not due to many quality of life issues since I don't really need that level of protection. I also live out of a bag so carrying two laptops isn't very practical. Also I've found more benefit in upgrading notebooks than staying back to use Qubes. That said, if I could get GPU acceleration for just my green zones for local development work then it would be amazing and probably worth the jump for me. In my case I'd likely put some proprietary games in their own environment and browse the web unaccelerated. I think that if this feature were available even if it needed to be turned on manually from the CLI (to make sure people are aware of the ramifications) then it would bring a lot more mind share to Qubes. The less than ideal degraded GPU security would be better than what I'm running now. I think that other than the labor the question is if Qubes wants to offer the most protection to many different use cases and threat levels or if its only interested in being the most ideal security environment period.
