Qubes is by far the best distro

So what are you running it on?
Also, how the passthrough?
William Martin
No you're the best distro
Angel Watson
Thanks man.
Samuel Walker
I think it's an HP E7440 with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. I left it at work and will double check tomorrow. By pass passthrough do you mean speed? Convenience?
I had no expectation that it would be lightning fast, so I don't care about waiting a few seconds for it to spin up a new VM. I already mentally traded speed for security when I installed it.
Convenience. Each application runs in it's own VM. The learning curve is about 30 minutes. There are lots of resources online. I've been able to configure a few applications successfully and those are very convenient to use. I wasn't able to configure the VMWare Horizon View Client to run in it's own VM, but I was able run the browser-based version - I'm happy with that. I have libre-office on it and I will try to install Skype tomorrow.
Overall, it just feels profoundly more secure than the other distros I've used.

So this is why people have 64gb ram
Elijah Reed
Passthrough in the sense of letting the VM take hold of some piece of hardware, like giving a VM of windows a 1080. Also don't reddit space, was curious if you were doing anything interesting with it.
>only 64GB
Landon Anderson
can install a gentoo or gentoo-based user environment on it?
Nicholas Carter
Yes, you can create custom VMs with any distro/OS you want.
Wyatt Young
Reddit spacing is when you have a space after every sentence. Having a space between paragraphs is not Reddit spacing. Here's a Reddit thread that answers your question about GPU passthrough: reddit.com

I used it as my main OS for a few months but for the most part it can't serve my current needs because I very often remote home from school and dom0 being offline just makes doing stuff like that really sucky.
I really truly think that security by VM containment will be brought into mainstream OSes in the next few years though, but not necessarily the exact way Qubes does it.

joanna might be a tranny but (s)he isn't a huge fag about it afaik and is very approachable online
One greentext you forgot is that the Windows tools (that may or may not be discontinued, haven't followed Qubes for a while) are not free software and they won''t release the source. hmmm
David Bailey
Any hardware powerful enough to do VM containment is already backdoored
Kevin Thompson
A sad truth desu
Leo Gonzalez
Dangit. I actually believed it was possible for a woman to be smart enough to develop qubes.
Juan Hall
With the personal VM that has Jow Forums - what were your firewall settings for it? Only allow Jow Forums.org and a few other sites?
Nathaniel Long
>systemd
Austin Gomez
No I used it like a normal Jow Forums user uses his computer. It was basically everything that wasn't a specific task. Which, for me, was mostly masturbating to pornography and posting on Jow Forums and making the occasional photo edit for Jow Forums
Matthew Young
What distro and hardware do you use that mitigates all of those vulnerabilities?
Jayden Wilson
openbsd on corebooted t60
Christopher Garcia
Thanks, I'll look into this.
Noah Turner
Doesnt the t60 have the same hardware backdoors as any other modern computer?
Owen Adams
you can still remove the backdoors with ME_Cleaner
anything past Core2Duo it's impossible to remove
Jackson Taylor
So say I download something from Firefox, how would it appear in my Home Folder? If they’re both in separate VMs?
Or would I have to open a shell from my home VM and use whet?
Robert Mitchell
If you download something in the Firefox VM you can manually move it to a special folder on a different VM.
Aaron Walker
Let's say you have a newer processor... should such a person use qubes, or would you still recommend OpenBSD?
Cameron Brooks
Theoretically OpenBSD, but really with a properly configured network and good security practice you would either have to be doing some truly evil shit or get caught in the worlds largest hardware backdoor, meltdown included.
If you want to look into solutions w/o nonfree spyware on your CPU, take a look at the libreboot and coreboot projects. If you want some serious horsepower that Talos 2 is an enterprise option as well.
Ultimately both of those are secure OS for most pragmatic applications, but OpenBSD really is a heavy metal rock hard OS
Bentley Martinez
I plan on switching once I get a better computer. It looks interesting to say the least.
Levi Mitchell
How does Windows 7 run on it?
Jacob Nguyen
I considered porting gnome over to it but I'm too lazy. they switched from KDE to XFCE but it's still so ugly, I can't compute to this
Easton Cox
It runs fine on 16GB
Mason Kelly
I haven't tried yet.
Isaiah Diaz
>can only run on backdoored i3/i5/i7 processors
>requires 16+ gigs ram
wrong. qubes 3.2 runs just fine on old librebooted thinkpads with only 8 gigs of ram. qubes 4.0 runs on certain librebooted opteron-based pcs.
Hudson Johnson
do you legitimately mean "past core2duo" or are you including core2duo? on an x200
Levi Clark
Stupid distro because :
1. Why do I need three identical distros?
pedora
plebian
amazontu
2. xen -
this is baggy shit, nobody use it
3. whonix - distro for pedos and criminals.
Ryder Murphy
what about slackware, user
Connor Lopez
he means past it, which is true. the x200 is libreboot compatible.
Mason Cooper

who cares, she's not a sjw. Joanna deserves respect for her work
Luke Davis
no mention of tails or kodachi?
