I am technically literate, but my experience was that Qubes OS is unusable.

Is anyone on this list using it successful?

It is a highly secure virtualization environment, and the intent is that
you will run a dozen actually useful operating systems contained in
virtual boxes and separated from each other.

You cannot do anything useful in Qubes, and are not intended to do
anything useful in Qubes.  You are intended to run some operating system
that is useful and convenient, such as windows, in a virtual machine
under Qubes, and have a whole bunch of such environments isolated from
each other.

But, compared to Oracle VM, seemed to me back then to be semi broken and
pain in the ass.

That was some considerable time ago.  How does it compare with Oracle VM
these days?
