Hi Noe,

Uninstalling Qubes requires no special instructions. You can simply
wipe or format the partition or drive on which you installed Qubes, as
you normally would, then install your OS of choice. It's likely that
whichever new OS you choose to install over Qubes will offer to do
this for you automatically as part of the installation process.

Best,
Andrew

Hello Mr.Wong,

I apologize for the late response. Thanks so much for the speedy reply and information.

Over the last few days, I found a way to test other operating systems on another machine,
and I've been getting further accustomed to Qubes's GUI and I like it more and more.

I've compared it to Parrot OS, Linux Mint, Subgraph among others and Qubes is by far the best.
However, the only possible issue I have is that sometimes when I close my laptop and move to another

room, Qubes shuts down/only returns a black screen causing me to restart it. Is there something I could

do to stop that?

Thanks again.

Enjoy your evening,

Noe

Hi Noe,

Glad to hear you like Qubes!

We're looking into multiple wake-from-sleep issues that other users
have reported, for example:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2922
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3411

I don't have any further guidance to offer on your problem right now,
but please feel free to ask for help on this list, since others may be
able to offer assistance. Also feel free to file an issue if you think
yours is distinct from those and not too localized for qubes-issues.

Best,
Andrew
