[Tracking] Options for improving Qubes on low-resource hardware

[tabbyrobin]

Qubes OS version (if applicable)
All versions / recent and future releases.

Affected component(s) or functionality (if applicable)
Hardware support, performance, general user experience.

Brief summary
This is (intended to be a helpful) meta/tracking issue for assessing options to make Qubes work better on limited / low-resource hardware. (Limited RAM, disk, battery, limited cpu virt features, for low-budget users, etc.)

Additional context
One of the main barriers to Qubes is hardware (the other being technical knowlege). For folks without a lot of spare cash this is a particular challenge. By "low-resource" i mean a huge range from making Qubes work better on a laptop with only 8gb RAM, to perhaps eventually Qubes on arm/phones.

Relevant documentation you've consulted
A bunch, but none particularly relevant here.

I appreciate the effort and intention to be helpful. However, I suggest posting this in the forum rather than qubes-issues. In order to keep qubes-issues useful as a practical day-to-day tool for the devs, our issue reporting guidelines require that every issue must be about a single, actionable thing, and this issue does not appear to satisfy that requirement. However, the forum has no such requirement. The forum also facilitates discussion and supports additional features that may be beneficial for this type of use case. Therefore, the forum would be more a more appropriate venue for this post. Thank you for your understanding.
