HCL - Dell 7567

Hello all, I'm new here and this is my first time using QubesOS. Seeing as the HCL is lacking my laptop I thought I try to document my experience with installing and setting up Qubes on my Dell 7567.
The first thing I did while win10 was still on the machine was update the BIOS from 1.00.3 to the current 1.00.7. Then I upgraded the Wifi card from Intel 3165 to 8265 (more about his later).
In order to get the system to boot to my ISO USB I had to disable Secure Boot. This might be why my HCL Report says I don't have a TPM when this unit should have TPM 2.0; I will re-enable and install AEM after I fix a few other issues.
When trying to install QubesOS the 'Media Scan' (I think it was called) failed and I had to install without scanning. Besides that, I had no other issues with the install. -side note; I did check the hash on the ISO, and the image was as it should, I think this was just from my old USB stick.
After install I learned I had to manually identify and connect to my wifi. Still nothing. 20 minutes on google later, I hook up a cat6 and start updating my kernel to 4.8.12. This fixed my issue and I was then able use the Intel 8265 for wifi.
Updated all my Templates and dom0. Added nano to Deb8 and Fed23 because nano is my favorite. Now the fun begins.
I use KeePass and while I was happy to see that the Linux KeePassX 2 was already in the Vault VM I needed to install mono because of an OTP plugin I use. Added Mono (and Wine) to Fed23. KeePass must be launched via command line but I'm not complaining. I also had to set up keyboard executions from sys-usb so my OTP key can be used in KeePass. This is set to always ask because I don't want to be forwarding just any keyboard into my dom0.
What I still would like to do;
My laptop has both the Intel onboard as well as a 1050Ti. I would love to one day get that 1050Ti working via IOMMU to either a windows or linux gaming VM. if that ever becomes possible.
I want to turn back on my TPM and get AEM setup but I want to make sure I'm happy with the setup before I do that.
I need to fix an issue with the wifi where after suspending the drivers need to be reset I know that <https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/wireless-troubleshooting/> has a "Automatically reloading drivers on suspend/resume" fix, but his does not work for me. I have added iwlmvm, iwlwifi, cfg80211, and mac80211 to my suspend-module-blacklist. If anyone knows how to help me with this, I would be very grateful.
Thank you to all the contributors for making Qubes possible. I hope my HCL Report is of some use. If a Dev would like my HCL Support File I will gladly give it over a private channel.

Thanks for the advice. I did try to update 8 into 9deb but I didn't do it via dom0 and I lost the template.... I'm pretending that 'first' install of qubes was a trial run. =P
This will give me something to do tonight, thank you again.
