It’s worth giving it another shot. I first ran QubesOS on an older ROG Strix that was mostly compatible, and it handled it surprisingly well. I fell in love with the OS and wanted to run it on hardware that could actually do it justice.

When I upgraded, I checked both compatibility lists and learned that newer doesn’t mean better or compatible. So when it was time for a new laptop, I literally chose a recommended ThinkPad off that list to run QubesOS, and it’s been solid for years now.

I have three Thinkpads (don’t mean to brag but… haha) the oldest being a 2005 R61, still runs good, struggles with the more modern Linux’s, had to build my own for it. My other two are a little newer. I’d like to get an X1 carbon.

Also have 2 Mac’s, both broke lol! And some old HP’s that work well, needs a newer kernel for sound to work, ho humm.

Just in case you’re wondering, I collect laptops, clean them up, install Linux and give them to kids wanting to learn but unable to buy their own.

That is such a wonderful thing to do. Love my X1 Carbon.
