Qubes is not Linux really. I mean it technically is Fedora apparently but the main thing really is Xen and hypervisor.

You don’t really install apps on Qubes, you install entire operating systems as apps.

If normal linux is giving you too many hardware headaches, Qubes has some next level issues.

Speaking as one daily driving Qubes, the opposite is true. Whenever I have problems with Linux, Qubes allows to backup and restore it in a few clicks. It doesn't matter that Qubes is not really Linux. It runs Linux apps fine.
