I'm pleased with how quiet this Librem 14 is when running Qubes. No apparent electronics noises and the couple times the fan spun up (which is less often due to the faster CPUs) the low RPM was barely audible. I'm sure at full RPM it'll be loud of course.
@kyle when I compiled Buildroot in my projects qube (assigned all 12 threads) it was loud enough I could tell the job was done from another room, but that’ll happen when the whole thing is pegged for 72m!
