Qubes OS 4.1-rc1 has been released

I love reading about the steady technical progress the team behind Qubes is making, despite never intending to daily drive the OS myself. It's incredibly fascinating to read up on all the security considerations that I, an average Joe, would never realistically need to concern myself with, but it's great to see an OS that really pushes forward for those that DO require such strict isolation and security.

I wish the Qubes OS the best of luck in future, and let's see how the GPU passthrough team goes.

My daily driver is Qubes and it feels like home. I feel safe and respected.

The true pure faith requires compromises sometimes - when I need to run non-free software for work, I can keep it in a Qube VM and know it can’t mess anything else up. I trust Qubes to be reliable in a way I can’t ever remember experiencing with more traditional operating systems.

There’s a learning curve but I feel like I’m living (at least partially) in the promised land.

"Qubes OS is a free and open-source, security-oriented operating system for single-user desktop computing. Qubes OS leverages Xen-based virtualization to allow for the creation and management of isolated compartments called qubes."

We need to figure out how to fund Qubes development.
