If you want to install Flatpak packages, install them inside of an AppVM as a **user Flatpak** and enable the update-user-flatpaks.service as a **user** systemd service for automatic updates.

It is recommended that you follow the docs [here](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vm-sudo/#replacing-passwordless-root-access-with-dom0-user-prompt) to make a prompt for root access on non-minimal VMs. dom0.sh already takes care dom dom0 so you only need to worry about the guests.

## Laptop Recommendations

Qubes AEM currently still requires legacy boot. Officially, the last generation of Intel CPUs with VBIOS to support legacy boot Coffee Lake. However, I have found that certain Comet Lake Thinkpads still have legacy support.

 | 
			
		||||
I recommend that you look though [Lenovo's BIOS simulator](https://download.lenovo.com/bsco/index.html#/) to find a suitable Comet Lake Thinkpad. These will have the longest remaining support lifecycle. Personally, I use a Thinkpad T14 gen 1.

Lenovo ePrivacy can be controlled through `/proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow`. I use the following shortcuts:

- F5: `sudo bash -c 'echo 1 > /proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow'`
