Qubes OS

Qubes vs openbsd that is the real question

>no games

It fucking sucks unless you have the hardware for it.

What do you use it for?
TAILS is better.

>>60459836
Mainly curious to see how it works and how smoothly. The idea behind it is intriguing.
I use a encrypted usb with persistence of tails and Kali for most my pentesting activities

>>60459315
Qubes OS? More like Pubes OS haha

>>60459315
So it's a distro that comes with it's own VM?

>>60459575
....maybe

More than just a vm, each qube is next to oneanother on the OS level instead of stacked inside each other. Making it more difficult to infect the entire system. To my understanding, yet to try it myself

>>60460023
Can I run different OSs from it?
Like install Win 7 as a VM?

>>60459975
What is that facial expression trying to convey

>>60459975
Why are you posting that picture in every single thread? Fucking autist.

>>60460042
Yes, using the templatevm's there is multiple Linux distros as well as Windows 7 64x

>>60460356
>templatevm
There's only whonix, ubuntu and arch.

>>60459315
Whoonix is the safest way to access TOR, I feel like they are only supporting it to run this cube.

How much RAM do you need?

>>60459315
How do you make custom VM?
I want to create Manjaro and WinXP.

>>60459565
It's the only GNU/Linux that allows you to run games natively..

>By contrast, Qubes uses a “Type 1” or “bare metal” hypervisor called Xen. Instead of running inside an OS, Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the “bare metal” of the hardware. This means that an attacker must be capable of subverting the hypervisor itself in order to compromise the entire system, which is vastly more difficult.

why is compromising xen more difficult than whatever OS + hypervisor one running? Is there any merit to distinguishing OS and hypervisor?

>>60460922
Basically the weak chain in qubes is the hardware, that's why intel started it's botnet.

>>60460939
Please elaborate, why I would trust xen more than whatever os I'm running

>>60461001
Xen is a VM not OS.
Running qubes is the same as running different VMs.

>>60461013
it is spelled out in the quote, I'm asking about the last part: is there any inherent properties of a type 1 hypervisor that makes it more robust than an OS running a type 2?

>>60461051
Level of separation

>>60461059
please elaborate

>>60461091
Qubes is like this

Dom0 [Qube OS]
VM 1 > App 1, App 2
VM 2 > App 1, App 2

Each VM doesn't know if other VM exist only Dom0 can know, and for Dom0 to be compromised it require hardware backdoor.
While other VM are like this

OS
VM > Snap 1 > App 1, App 2
    > Snap 2 > App 1, App 2

If one application manage to compromise a snap then the whole VM can be compromised

>>60461149
I only see semantics here
1. Hypervisor running the VMs

2. (OS running a hypervisor), running the VMs

So qubes renamed 1 as an OS to look like what's in the parens.

>Dom0 to be compromised it require hardware backdoor.

why, is xen some magical piece of software that does not have bugs?

>>60461283
Qubes doesn't run any applications, only VMs.

>Qubes OS is a security-oriented operating system (OS). The OS is the software that runs all the other programs on a computer. Some examples of popular OSes are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Android, and iOS.
WTF is this description?

>>60461403
And incomplete one

>>60460758
Uh, no GPU support

>>60461399
what is a VM if not an application?

>>60462336
Because while qubes do call it a VM it's less like a VM and more like running multiple OSs at the same time through multi booting.
