I could tolerate no graphic acceleration and battery issues as part of the virtualization overhead, but I had issues with sleep (it would sleep and wake up perfectly only with when plugged in) and other related problems such as Windows VMs crashing when waking up from sleep.

I was using it well at home but could not stand it when I travelled around with my laptop.

I think Xen is mostly at fault for the issues, but I’m sure using something like KVM would be insecure, or they would have migrated already.

Does sleep and wake work for you with a standard Linux distro? If so a newer kernel might help,like the kernel-latest-qubes-vm package, might help:

Yes, it works perfectly. It’s a Thinkpad X260, not exactly new hardware, and even Debian works just fine.

Weird. Multiple people submitted HCL for X260, and not a single one mentions issues with sleep.

When I had similar issues in the past, I posted a question either to the mailing list or forum, and people were helpful.

If you choose Community-recommended hardware (https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/community-recommended-computers...), sleep will work fine for you.
