I hadn't checked on this project in some time, and last I looked it seemed to be stagnant. Good to see it going strong again.

I just remember that, hardware wise, there wasn't a lot of things that could run all aspects of the OS and be 100% with it. The "certified hardware" on the site also looks like it's out of date.

It has remained quite active since I started using Qubes in 2016. I think when Joanna left day to day work it's possible things slowed a bit but I didn't have enough context since that wasn't long after I started.

Based on hanging out in the support forums it seems like there have been some pretty large groups of new users, honestly I have no idea why many came at once but they did. Of course for a project this small, "large" is relative.

The current work includes making dom0 smaller by delegating the gui to a service Qube.
