By far one of the most common problems new users encounter (as reported on
Twitter, Reddit, and qubes-users) is getting a blank screen with a blinking
cursor when they initially try to install Qubes. I'm guessing this is Xen
failing to launch due to less than perfect hardware compatibility (in some
cases, probably outright incompatibility). If you think avoiding this would
be valuable, then that's one thing in favor of dropping Xen during
installation.
