qubes depends on xen and xen hardly runs on anything
whonix is better if you want to try containing everything
a home made solution would be to run every app inside nspawn, not sure how to navigate the interface to the GUI, should be able to use a container network interface, linux namespaces are practically as good as xen isolation
"hardly runs on anything" is a bit of a stretch. the hardware compatibility lists and certified hardware lists display many compatible device options. some hardware is just not up to the standard. qubesos comes with whonix and it's amazing for privacy and security. but, i digress since dr. hax (another qubesos user) is well aware of this 😊
