Does Edward Snowden use Qubes?

I use Qubes and a Whonix gateway literally everyday, but you can't simply throw Qubes at a non-technical journalist and have them not get you arrested. Qubes is intended for people who understand how a network operates and what a virtual machine is. Most journalists don't.

Qubes OS implements a security-by-isolation (or security-by-compartmentalization) approach by providing the ability to easily create many security domains. These domains are implemented as lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs) running under the Xen hypervisor.

What OS does Bill Gates use?

What Linux did Snowden use?

Subgraph OS is a Linux distribution designed to be resistant to surveillance and interference by sophisticated adversaries over the Internet. It is based on Debian. The operating system has been mentioned by Edward Snowden as showing future potential.

Which OS do hackers use?

Linux is the most popular choice for hackers due to its flexibility, open source platform, portability and command line interface and compatibility with popular hacking tools. Windows is a required, but dreaded target for most hackers because it requires them to work in Windows-only environments.

How much RAM does Qubes OS need?

Qubes 4. x needs at least 32 GiB of disk space and 4 GB of RAM. However, in practice, it typically needs upwards of 6-8 GB of RAM, since although it is possible to run it with only 4 GB of RAM, users will likely be limited to running no more than about three Qubes at a time.

Is Qubes good for privacy?

We absolutely do not sell any user data. In fact, we go out of our way to help you keep your data private from everyone, including us. For example, from the moment you install Qubes OS, we offer to set up Whonix so that all of your updates are routed through Tor.

The result of our work is full integration of Windows 7, 10, and 11 in Qubes OS and significant improvements in usability for even inexperienced users.

Why did Palm Pre fail?

Even after all the hype, the Pre just wasn't that good

Palm was positioning the Pre as a high-end device, and charging what a high-end device was supposed to cost. But the Pre just wasn't that nice. Its hardware keyboard -- which some thought could have been a big selling point against the iPhone -- was especially bad.
