Hello fellow lemmers, who of you had a chance to install Cubeos and play around with it? is it something worth installing on a laptop, (assuming you have a beefy one). How does Cubeos treat Nvidia integrated graphics?

It is heavily compartmentalise. Creates VM on the go and destroys them when not needed. They recommended atleast an SSD for storage.

It uses templates of Fedora and Whonix, you can add other distributions too.

It can be very secure at the cost of inconvenience.

i've run it for a bit, it was nice but i found it to be a bit too inconvenient & some things that should've worked to cross the hypervisor boundary didn't. overall it's not bad but definitely has various annoyances & usability issues, would only recommend if your pc has decently good specs & you're willing to deal with having everything be connected by a thin boundary. not sure how it treats nvidia unfortunately, as back then i wasn't using an nvidia card
