Is Qubes any more efficient in resource usage than a typical VM?
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
It is not like 'very limited'. But generally they are focused around modern Intel CPU, and can have issues on new AMD CPU. And it won't work on very old CPUs without proper virtualization features.
