From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Honestly, once you use Qubes there's no going back. Its a game changer that's magnitudes safer than running everything on one system or trying to silo some subset of your work to dedicated VMs manually
Really? There are some pretty serious trade-offs that Qubes requires if you're going to use it as your daily driver. I'm far more security-conscious than anyone I know, but I couldn't bring myself to make those trade-offs.
Interesting. Care to elaborate ?
Like what? It takes a fe extra clicks to use a microphone or camera. I like this.
