Hi,

I spent some time installing Qubes OS on my Dell Precision 5750 and thought I would share the notes for others and future me.

Summary:

NVMe drives are not detected in installer (F12 -> BIOS -> Storage -> Disable RAID and switch to AHCI)
BIOS must disable secure boot in order to work
Do not connect the DisplayLink HP docking stations - they will reliably and abruptly crash the installer and run a bootloop
WiFi breaks if you select Debian as the default template VM, Fedora works good
Integrated Camera works but is USB based so you must have a sys-usb - forcing you to install on the NVMe driver and not an SSD attached by USB.
Audio is broken but can be fixed, instructions logged here (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/7091). The computer came with a Comet Lake PCH cAVS and works nicely now!
GPU - nouveau driver isn't being super nice but it's also not crashing the system so that's good!

Congrats Maestro, would you consider sending a [HCL report](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/how-to-use-the-hcl/#generating-and-submitting-new-reports)?
