I love the fact how all the things they list make sense for security and then there's just:

A Nautilus extension

Of course, when reading on, the article mentions it's there for convenience to avoid having to open a terminal, but I still found it really funny when reading the list.

How about:

A custom package installed from a private repository hosted in Amazon S3

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.

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.
