You have been Psyoped on QubesOS
I, have been using the reasonably secure operating system QubesOS https://www.qubes-os.org/ on my laptop that runs Coreboot. I see a lot of FUD and misconceptions about Qubes all the time, the main few that i do come across, i think does the most damage, especially it comes from retards that use Linux mint or dual boot windows to use fucking adobe.
What is and why you should use Qubes.
I know that Linux always has this framing as being "secure" ect, but,
in the real world, it's Not, but that's not the point of this post.
My main objective is to point out the common fud people bring up, mainly one point that people missreprestent. Ether from not reading the docs or just repeating what their favorit Youtuber is spreading because they used it once while at their wife's boyfriend's house. ## what is QubesOS Qubes is a operating system, and it's NOT a linux distro, It's based on xen hypervisor. the photo below for refrence is how it works !

QubesOS takes the approach that everything compermised. Extream? maybe. i use it mainly because it's compartmenlization is nice for my adhd and keeps everything organized. it's colour coded for easy to understand labeling. I'll point to easy to understand advantages.
- Strong isolation
- colour coded VMS(for trust and non trusted)
- well, documented and even offline incase you have no internet. 4. resonable expectations of security built in 5. whonix built in for bettter "privacy"
WHO IS THIS FOR BRO?????

COMMON MISSCONCETPTIONS THAT TRIGGER ME
1: "ITS TOO HARD"
I, always hear from "tech bros " or "experts" on the inernet that say qubesos is "not begginer friendly" which in my expert opinon is a bunch of bullshit. At it's core, yes Qubesos IS NOT a linux distro, but everything elese is. If you have ever used debain, fedora or whonix, then it is safe to say you'll be fine. If you're coming from Windows and you want the most resoniably secure OS, then Qubes can work for you. you can test linux in a "safe" enviorment. espescially Windows
windowsHVM. just like anything, there is always a learning curve. Don't be scared of learning. !
It's too resource intensive. (Every time I hear this I want kms)
People always say qubes is "too heavy" and they can suck my balls. It's again people that have a 2k MacBook that ""tested it" and all that fucker does is post a tweet about having a Macbook. 6GB oF raM Is NOt EnoUgh. I LITTERALLY USED 6GB OF RAM FOR YEARS before I upgraded to 16GB of ram, and it was fine and functional. Qubes is smart with its resources. If people actually read the documentation, compatibility is far more important than anything. If you have a spare laptop, just install it and test it, especially if it's low spec. The MINIMUM requirements are there for a reason. It will function to the minimum. Is more better?? Yeah! No shit.
It's like asking if more money or more hookers is better (it is) quit listening to people with cognitive disabilities on blogs that do not test in production (they're gove agents or....) unless it's me, (listen to me)
MORE THOUGHTS. (experiance)
Look, I don't like wrtting this long or much, my adhd kicks in and ya know things, But I don't like this premise that we shou;d not learn or try things. Qubes offers the best security (reasonably) out of the box and, even worse, I think people get caught up in some weird trap of thinking they need 10x hardware. Now I have a nova custom because my last laptop got destroyed somehow. IF you have the money, I'd get them or another certified vendor. Otherwise, get anything that has been tested.
**DO NOT GET A HIGH RES SCREEN. IT IS NOT WORTH IT
I have tested a lot of apps, software on QubesOS and pretty much everything works. If not, I just use the browser option in a dedicated VM. My only issues I rammed into, besides the mistake of getting a high-res screen (I'm an intellectual disability and did not read) were very silly stuff like split-GPG and ctap proxy. I got to live stream and got the OBS working, though it was very hot and intense for my CPU. Other than that, I would like to do some video editing at some point to see how good it is.
Last thought.
Your system won't save you if you have bad opsec.
QubesOS is like a really cool gun. It's better then a pointy stick, but if you don't train it's useless.
