question Absolute Noob

I'm an absolute noob at linux but I'm trying to make my Lenovo LOQ laptop with no iGPU and a 4060 gpu work with qubes. Would like to know if it is even possible and if there are guides available.

Id strongly recommend the documentation and learn before install as it is by no mean new user friendly.

What is your user case for the os?

Installing QubesOS correctly and cleanly is a bear in itself. But trying to use it without at least being quite adept at one of the Unix-like OS’ is like an 8 year old trying to ride a 1500cc Harley. To use QubesOS well, you really need to have a really good grasp of security protocols and principles among a host of other disciplines. Having hardware that is compatible is difficult; desktops are more likely to work with it than laptops.
