Hello guys,
maybe someone here is running a High End PC System with Qubes OS R4 and can tell me his build in hardware.
I am not searching for laptops. I only want to use desktop pcs and workstation.
So if someone is running like AMD 16 core processor, 32GB RAM, Nvme SSD and so on, please tell me your hardware parts.

I'm using a somewhat older ryzen CPU (1600, 6c part) icw 48GB RAM (mixed and a vega56, though like I said, any polaris or vega GPU is well-supported by the install kernel (4.19), and especially kernel-latest. You don't really need to worry very much about ram compatibility if you're considering a 12 or 16c ryzen cpu, and x470 or x570 motherboard, such as the GB x570 Aorus Ultra or Master, or the MSI prestige creation. (Or the asus prime x570-p, if you want a relative budget motherboard.) The RAM I'm using is G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-3600C16D-32GVKC
as to nvme, the one I'm using is the sx8200.

My setup isnt even worth mentioning other than lots of mem is good.
I did want to stump for modification to the hardware page, and perhaps
the hardware profile submission process. I think making the hardware
compatibility easier to understand would really help qubes uptake.
Something like adding a few *optional* feilds for qubes-hcl-report, it
could like ask for the year the hardware came out, or a wikipedia url to
the hardware, and in the HCL itself the ability to sort would be a huge
help especially if speed or dates when hardware came out could be sorted
that way people who want to know what the "latest and greatest" hardware
that is working on qubes wouldnt have to go the the HCL and check on the
specs of each hardware (I dont have all hardware memorized, i still get
confused with amd and intel naming LOL).
Just a thought but I see a fair number of people asking about "whats the
best" and for recommendations so the ability to sort and so i would
think that having some optional fields would really be useful? maybe
something like on a VPN breakdown list

Not a Desktop but laptop.
I'm running on a thinkpad P51 with Xeon processor, 64GB of RAM, 2x nvme FDE SSD as qubes system drive and 1x fast spinner drive as data (All drives hardware encryption + LUKS encryption), nvidia optimus gpu + Intel gpu
This has been daily qubes machine for over an year now, first with R3.2 and now with R4.0.1
