I think Qubes is fantastic. I’ve used it since 2.* and it’s getting better all the time. You’re right about the hardware compatibility though you need a CPU with VT-x capabilities and it doesn’t like fancy GPUs. You need a fair bit of memory too. Since it’s not recommended to dual boot with GRUB and won’t install on VirtualBox (still the case by the look of it) I have it installed on a 128G USB 3.0 stick plugged into an i7 machine with 16G RAM.

Genode OS framework is technically more challenging and a better solution than QubesOS.
In fact, officially Genode OS has in their own pipeline the integration with the SafeNetwork.

Have you tried it yet? Still pretty buggy with lots of things not working. I think they released it a bit early.
I agree. Genode has some interesting ideas but doesn’t appear to be nearly as far along as Qubes. Genode does seem to be one to keep an eye on though.
