Hello,
I would like to install qubes os but I am having trouble with hardware. My current desktop setup is:
ryzen 5 2600
gtx 970
TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING
8GB RAM
but it seems like i have trouble with these technologies: HAP/SLAT/EPT/RVI
What changes would I need to make for it to work?
Also I am considering buying a laptop is there any laptop that is under 300 euro (can be used) that will run this os?
Where I live there is a lot of used thinkpads.

Thanks for reading this and I hope you will help me out.

Many thinkpad models are on the compatible list. I use a T520 which has been further secured by coreboot.

disclaimer:... I'm still running 3.2 as I have not had the opportunity to upgrade. My USB ports on this motherboard are not working, and I want to get a fully functional one setup before I install 4...

I would get a g505s or a T430 (and install a T420 keyboard if you hate
the island/chiclet style kb)

Both can run coreboot but the g505s has no me/psp and is owner
controlled whereas the T430 has ME. (note: coreboot doesn't always mean
freedom/open source firmware)
