About Qubes OS

Qubes OS is a free and open-source, security-oriented operating system for single-user desktop computing. Qubes OS leverages Xen-based virtualization to allow for the creation and management of isolated compartments called qubes. These qubes, which are implemented as virtual machines (VMs), have specific Purposes with a predefined set of one or many isolated applications, for personal or professional projects, to manage the network stack, the firewall, or to fulfill other user-defined purposes. Qubes brings to your personal computer the security of the Xen hypervisor, the same software relied on by many major hosting providers to isolate websites and services from each other. Can't decide which Linux distribution you prefer? Still, need that one Windows program for work? With Qubes, you're not limited to just one OS. With Whonix integrated into Qubes, using the Internet anonymously over the Tor network is safe and easy.

    "XEN for all people with secure system."

    5 out of 5 stars Edited 2024-01-07

    Pros: Best Xen integration i have see, very great job...

    Xen is a powerful paravirtualization and virtualization!

    Cons: I search, but I do not think so, if i can find great problem in this linux os.

    Overall: You wanna use Xen, in secure mode, go for it.

    You search open source / free of charge virtualization system, with great performance, go it.

    I haven't tested support, i try a 4.

    "Security for free"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2023-04-03

    Pros: Security.
    Support, En, Ge, Sp. It, and..
    Diversification: you can to work with 4 of linux distros, as your preference Like ubuntu, ded, fedora, Arch, ... and windows if you have to.

    Cons: You will miss Manjaro ;-))
    You will start thinking in a way that put at the first place the security of your data, keeping it separate from dangerous websites or socials.

    Overall: Surprised because it becomes really easy and good supported OS even for new users, tired to pay for OS and applications that only take the personal data and information for big data studies.
