I wanted to try Quebes but my device isn’t compatible.

Really? AFAIK the only thing special it requires that a normal OS doesn’t is virtualization, and any reasonably-modern x86 CPU should support that just fine. What does your hardware lack?

Hardware virtualization is often disabled in the bios by default and probably just needs to be enabled. Called something like AMD-VT or INTEL-Vd

AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics 3.80 GHz 16.0 GB DDR5 @ 5600

With the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
I ensured bios were setup, attempted to install and it didn’t even show an error when selecting to install or live test and install. The device just restarted and nothing.

I’m actually going to give it another try, I made a fresh USB for it, it’s worth a fair attempt. I know the GPU is gonna probably be unusable, but I was looking at Qubes for 80% of my tasks.
