Hello,
I was wondering if some people tried to install Qubes OS from an USB 3.0 media. I'm asking because Paf LeGeek who made some nice tutorial videos on youtube says it is not recommended to boot from usb 3.0, better choosing an usb 2.0... Could someone tell me why ?
Regards
Wojtek Porczyk

from USB 3.0. I have at least one system, which can *sometimes* boot from USB
3.0, and I don't know why and what it depends on.
There is a workaround though: you can run bootloader from USB 2.0, pick the
boot option, let it load kernel and initramfs and *then* quickly remove the
stick and plug it in 3.0 port. You have to do it before udev settles.

Didn't see the video, but my guess is that some systems have trouble booting
