I was planning on installing qubes on my macbook pro 2015 but even if it is compatible, is it worth having to deal with all the apparent problems with installing on a mac or should I just try to dual boot it on my PC?

I too would be very interested to know. At the moment I have Qubes nicely installed on an HP Elitebook but would rather have it on my Mac (and look at a Hackintosh solution to OSX in a Domain)

I tried looking for that "Hackintosh solution" yesterday, OS X in a Domain seems quite hard to accomplish. Cant find any successful reports about running any recent OS X in HVM Xen Domain (macOS Sierra, or El Capitan at least)
Someone tried to do it with Snow Leopard, but no luck - http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Snow_Leopard_Server_on_Xen

Seen some instructions about running macOS Sierra in Virtual Box, but sadly Virtual Box can't be used in a Xen environment (and same goes for closed source VMWare)

if you have any ideas about how it could be done, please drop them here
