Providing you have a machine that can handle it, Qubes absolutely isn't as hard as one imagines to set up. It has a philosophy a bit like gos, out of the box it pretty much works as is - like graphene does. It has a great community for help on the official forums, and as you use templates based on either Debian or fedora, either of those communities can help also. Its definitely more complicated, but once it's set up it's good to go. There are a few quirks which you have to get used to, and there are also some severe restrictions due to how it works - so research is needed to find if it's suitable to how you work, for example gaming is not ideally suited to say the least. But for regular computing, writing, research, web surfing, things like that, it has replaced macos for me. I still use and need macos for my work as a photographer as I need tools which only work on that (or windows), but for all my other needs it's highly secure and it can be highly private too. If your machine can run it, it's definitely worth a go. My Qubes machine is a rather old inspiron i3 7th gen - so a bit of a dog. With a fast SSD and 32gb ram though, it works for me for all tasks, aside my photo editing workflow. I am not remotely fluent in the cli, and yet I have managed to set up and been using this system for the past 3 or 4 years with very few hiccups.
