### LUKS Discard
|
|
|
|
By default, Qubes does not use discard with a LUKS volume. To enable discard, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo cryptsetup --allow-discards --persistent refresh LUKS-UUID-HERE
|
|
```
|
|

|
### S0ix sleep
|
|
|
|
On certain hardware like the Thinkpad T14 Gen 1, you need to enable S0ix sleep support for suspension to work correctly. Use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo qvm-features dom0 suspend-s0ix 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Default appmenu
|
|
|
|
The default apps to show on AppVMs' menu when created can be configured with `qvm-features`.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo qvm-features fedora-41 default-menu-items 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop org.gnome.Ptyxis.desktop'
|
|
sudo qvm-features fedora-41 netvm-menu-items 'org.gnome.Ptyxis.desktop'
|
|
|
|
sudo qvm-features debian-12 default-menu-items 'org.gnome.Console.desktop org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop'
|
|
sudo qvm-features debian-12 netvm-menu-items 'org.gnome.Console.desktop'
|
|
```

### Lenovo ePrivacy
|
|
|
|
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'`
|
|
- F6: `sudo bash -c 'echo 0 > /proc/acpi/ibm/lcdshadow'`

### Firefox based browsers
|
|
|
|
Currently Firefox based browsers [will break](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8612#issuecomment-1764832181) when you try to open a YouTube video in fullscreen if their window is maximized. To workaround this, set `full-screen-api.ignore-widgets` in `about:config` to true.
|
|
|
|
I have no idea if this will make you more fingerprintable or not.

### Bitwarden & Element Flatpak
|
|
|
|
These apps require the keyring to be created first to work properly. Simply open a browser like Microsoft Edge and set an empty password for the keyring before using them.

### Video player
|
|
|
|
In my experience, VLC works best. Changing video output to X11 video output (XCB) reduces CPU usage by 10% on my Thinkpad P53. See [this link](https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/vlc-video-playback-cpu-usage-improvement/23363).
|
|
|
|
If you want to use MPV, make sure that `--vo=x11 --profile=sw-fast` is passed as arguments. See [this link](https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/improving-video-playback-speed/21906).
