Qubes-certified Laptops
=======================

Qubes-certified laptops are laptops that are regularly tested by the Qubes
developers to ensure compatibility with all of Qubes' features. The developers
test all new major versions and updates to ensure no regressions are introduced.

We aim to partner with a few select computer makers to ensure that Qubes is
compatible with them, so that new users have clear path towards getting started
with Qubes if they desire. We aim for these makers to be as diverse as possible
in terms of geography, cost, and availability.

Note that we certify only that a particular configuration is supported by Qubes.
We take no responsibility for our partners' shipping process -- including that
the hardware will not being modified in any way (malicious or not).

For more general information about choosing hardware for Qubes, please see the
[System Requirements] and the [Hardware Compatibility List].

For users now who seek to buy a Librem 13, there is an option to have Qubes
pre-installed on their Librem 13. This will include all the necessary tweaks for
maximum compatibility with Qubes. 

In addition, the Qubes team will receive a small portion of the revenue from any
Librem 13 sale that comes with Qubes pre-installed.

For existing Librem 13 users, please follow the instructions to ensure maximum
compatibility with Qubes:

1. In `dom0`, open a terminal and type:

       sudo qubes-dom0-update --releasever=3.1 xorg-x11-drivers xorg-x11-drv-intel

2. (optional) Enable newer kernel:

       sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-unstable kernel
