Qubes OS
Operating system focused on security in single-user desktops
Description
Qubes OS is a free and open-source operating system designed for security in single-user desktops. It uses Xen-based virtualization to create isolated compartments called "qubes," which function as virtual machines (VMs) and have different purposes, natures, and levels of trust. These qubes can be configured for personal or professional projects, network management, firewalls, or other defined purposes. Qubes OS supports multiple operating systems simultaneously, such as Fedora, Debian, and Windows, and includes tools like device isolation, integration with Whonix for secure use of the Tor network, and the creation of disposable qubes. The system's focus is to isolate applications to mitigate software vulnerabilities and provide a secure environment, ideal for journalists, activists, and users who require high security.
