Qubes-OS 3.2 RC1 : General.

[Mathew Evans]

I've got 3.2 RC1 to install and boot with UEFI perfectly fine. edited xen.cfg in /boot/efi . added pci-phantom=<DEVICE:ID> [due to a marvel m.2 ssd] and removed the 4Gb memory limit for dom0.

I'd like to try some of the new features, not limited to but including the i3 tile window manager. IS there any documentation about how to activate them etc..

Additionally where did the screen resolution change option? resorted to using a couple of command line options instead, also thought newest KDE with 3.2RC1 was expected to scale on 4k better. worked flawless on the installer but stopped once booted up and logged in.

Are you sure you need more than 4GB memory in dom0? Most of memory will
be used by VMs anyway. And every MB of memory initially allocated to
dom0 comes with an overhead of some kernel structures, which can't be
released even if you take memory away from dom0.

There is missing 'kscreen' package, which should allow you to adjust
screen settings. You can install it with: sudo qubes-dom0-update kscreen.
Anyway KDE still requires some manual settings for HiDPI - at least
increase font DPI.
