I have it on a Thinkpad 6th Gen Carbon and have been using it a bit. Crazy good security model with the Xen hypervisor and the control it allows. I'm currently using fedora based personal and work VMs, Win10 standalone VM, And a fedora based RDP VM. It's very fast with no hiccups so far.

I was wondering if anyone else uses Qubes and your experiences. Email, browsing, and RDP have been my main uses so far.

The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view

It looks very interesting.

I'd like to hear what some of our more Knowledgeable IT people have to say about it.

The security seems unmatched. Of course with extreme security there's some inconvenience but they deal with it very well. It can also be fairly hardware specific. But being able to have everything compartmentalized is pretty awesome. It also forces you to organize your computing.

RDP through neorouter works great with it and also any shares wanted. It's also nice having Whonix "built in"

It appears to be yet another Parrot Security kind of OS. Parrot Security OS

I couldn't find a 'live' cd/usb option. Does one exist so I can give it a spin without messing up my host OS?

ETA: OK, I just created a VM to install it to on one of my VMWare Servers. Problem solved, for now.

Anybody else tried Qubes? I use it every couple days and have been pleased. It’s been fun segregating the aspects of computing. Disposable VMs are a great concept.
