Qubes OS works quite well, if you need security on desktop.
- rustcleaner 2y agoSeconded. Been daily driving it on ThinkPads now for something like two years. I will never go back, and one of the few things which might draw me off Qubes OS is if OpenBSD cleanroom reimplemented Qubes OS with their own OS and hypervisor. (OpenBSD because nobody beats their long term code quality and consistency.)
- transpute 2y agoOpenBSD can run as a Xen guest, so it should work as a QubesOS VM.
- weikju 2y agoNot OpenBSD but FreeBSD: https://github.com/BawdyAnarchist/quBSD https://github.com/BawdyAnarchist/quBSD > quBSD is a FreeBSD jails/bhyve wrapper which implements a Qubes inspired containerization schema. Written in shell, based on zfs, and uses the underlying FreeBSD tools. Not saying it'll do what you want, but the idea is out there...
- chuankl 2y agoQubes has an excellent security model and should a top choice (if not _the_ top choice) for security-minded and technologically sophisticated users. I used Qubes for a year or two, and then realized that my main use case was to isolated the browser, which to me was the greatest threat vector compared to everything else I use. Then I thought, if I just wanted a system with the browser isolated from my main Linux environment, wasn't that exactly what ChromeOS provided? So I switched to ChromeOS and have stayed on it ever since.
