		eduction on July 11, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: QubesOS – A reasonably secure operating system What do you personally want to run on bare metal? I've been using Qubes for 7 years and the only thing I've missed is running MAME since Qubes doesn't do nested virtualization. But I do everything else I need on there - software dev, office productivity, web browsing, email, video transcoding, Spotify etc etc. It's rare I would ever need bare metal. (I'm not a PC gamer though...)

Pretty much everything you listed, plus games. All of that minus games is still usable on Qubes but there is a noticeable speed decrease.
