Do you hate GPU acceleration? Do you hate using most hardware? Do you like using Xorg? Then Qubes is for you.
This is in jest, but those are my pain points - the AMD thinkpad I have can't run it, the Intel one melts yubikeys when decoding h264 video. The default lock screen can't read capital letters from the yubikeys static password entry. Qubes has a certain user that it caters to, I really wish they could get enough money to be able to cater to more use cases. It is not difficult to use it if it works for you.
GPU acceleration is coming: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8552
> Do you hate using most hardware?
Nobody uses "most hardware". You may be unlucky with your hardware, then it's a problem. Or you can specifically buy hardware working with the OS you want.
> Do you like using Xorg?
What's wrong with Xorg?

Lock screens that crash. Lock screens that can’t handle input from a yubikey?
There are no crashes on lock screen with Qubes. Concerning Yubikey, see this: https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/user/security-in-qubes/mf...
