Hi,

I am currently using Qubes OS, but with the next release, I will have to
upgrade my hardware. And it will cost me a lot.

Anyway, I started to look at Genode OS, but I can't find an hardware
support list.

Questions:

1. How to know if my current configuration will be supported?
2. Is there any 3d support with Genode OS?
3. Is it possible to use Genode OS as desktop OS?

Thanks

2. Is there any 3d support with Genode OS?
Intel Broadwell with Mesa is in the works. Skylake might follow.

3. Is it possible to use Genode OS as desktop OS?
We are getting there, but you might have to stick to VirtualBox and a
desktop OS of your choice until then.

Intel Broadwell with Mesa is in the works. Skylake might follow.
And what about Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge with Mesa?

It did not not receive any focus, yet. But it should not be hard to
enable it, since it was ported from Linux. The corresponding branch can
be found here: https://github.com/ssumpf/genode/tree/mesa-11
