Privacy benefits aside, does qubes run better than a typical vm like virtualbox? I tend to fiddle with distros a lot and I feel qubes might be a good choice, though I’m wondering about how efficient it is

    happen to know of any distros that dont have this limitation and operate similarly to qubes? i havent heard of anything i know its a longshot 🙃

    but maybe i could work on programming and making this a bit smoother if i like the rest of what qubes offers

      Qubes is unique

      You could 100% play games on qubes if you have two graphics cards, or a integrated graphics on the CPU, and then have the GPU dedicated to a specific VM.

      However, at that point, you might as well just use moonlight and sunshine and stream your game over the network.

      Sunshine can run inside of a VM it just needs access to a GPU.

          Then you can game no problem.

          Pass through the GPU to one VM.
