The Qubes developers test Qubes OS on certain hardware models. The tested
|
|
|
|
hardware described on this page differs from [certified
|
|
|
|
hardware](/doc/certified-hardware/) in a few key ways:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Certified hardware has to meet more demanding standards than hardware that is
|
|
|
|
merely tested.
|
|
|
|
- All certified hardware is tested, but not all tested hardware is certified.
|
|
|
|
- A specific certified configuration is guaranteed to be supported on specific
|
|
|
|
versions of Qubes OS, whereas hardware testing provides no guarantees.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In general, you can think of tested hardware as "unofficial recommended"
|
|
|
|
hardware. Here's an overview of the various hardware lists:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [Certified hardware](/doc/certified-hardware/) --- Qubes developer certified,
|
|
|
|
officially recommended
|
|
|
|
- Hardware testing (this page) --- Qubes developer tested, unofficially
|
|
|
|
recommended
|

|
|
|
- [Community-recommended hardware](https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/5560)
|
|
|
|
--- list curated and maintained by the community, unofficially recommended
|
2021-08-07 07:36:28 -04:00
|
|
|
- [Hardware compatibility list (HCL)](/hcl/) --- community test results,
|
|
|
|
neither recommended nor disrecommended

|
|
|
These hardware models have been (and continue to be) tested and work well with
|
|
|
|
Qubes OS:

|
|
Note: The Lenovo X and T series are similar enough to assume similar
|
|
|
|
compatibility of the matching model from the other series.

|
|
|
The Qubes devs would like to test these models, but the hardware is not
|
|
|
|
available to us. If anyone is willing to lend or donate these models to us, we
|
|
|
|
would be happy to test them:
