What a great post, thanks for sharing!
I was Apple for 10 years until I found Graphene. There just wasn't a good / secure alternative until Graphene came along. Flashing on Linux does require a few prerequisites, linking to your previous post (as you suggested, might happen): #194904
For laptop, Apple beats windows (again, security / privacy) but these days I find I am actually able to get all my corporate work done using Qubes (Debian VMs)
I keep a Ubuntu laptop on the side for when the video calls play up though.
Graphene mobile / Linux laptop & PC for the freedom, and for the win :-)
Just curious, since it is VMs running with Qubes, I am curious if you are always low in RAM in practice?
I wanted to try Qubes but on the surface pro 6 I have to use swap memory all the time (8GB of RAM plus 8GB of swap memory I created to open 2 browsers).

8 GB is low for running qubes, 16 is ok, 32 is great, I'm running 64
I effectively have a half-dozen isolated "computers" connected to a single keyboard and mouse (with copy paste ability)

I see, thank you. So it looks interesting for recent computers

it actually only runs on specific hardware (doesn't need to be recent) - you'd need to check the compatibility list

Ah I see! Thank you. The compatibly list is quite massive, reminds me thr one for Wine.
