QubesOS on a System 76 Lemur

I’ve been fascinated by the security-by-compartmentalization model used in Qubes OS, a Linux-based operating system.  I even managed to get it running as a virtual machine in VMWare Fusion on OS X, but wanted  to get dedicated hardware to run it on.  Failing on several older macs I had around the house, I decided to ante up for a Linux laptop.  With some encouragement from Micah  F. Lee via Twitter, I decided to order a System76 Lemur  14″ laptop for my experiment.  The Lemur arrived today and it looks like I have successfully installed Qubes 3.1!  I’m happy to say the hardest part was figuring out how to get a boot menu (F7 after powering on in System76 computers).
My plan is to post about my experience as I go along.
