Can you run Qubes OS on VirtualBox?
Once you have downloaded the Qubes ISO image, it's time to launch VirtualBox and begin setting up a new virtual machine. Within VirtualBox, you need to click on the New option to bring up the configuration options. This step allows you to start loading up the functions for your new virtual environment.
Can Qubes OS be run as a virtual machine?
Note: Qubes OS is not meant to be installed inside a virtual machine as a guest hypervisor. In other words, nested virtualization is not supported. In order for a strict compartmentalization to be enforced, Qubes OS needs to be able to manage the hardware directly.
Is Qubes OS still supported?
Qubes OS releases are supported for six months after each subsequent major or minor release (see Version Scheme). The current release and past major releases are always available on the Downloads page, while all ISOs, including past minor releases, are available from our download mirrors.
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.
