As you may know, the main goal of the qubes project is a big forward leap in workstation security, and this is achieved through multiple layers of isolation. One of these layers relies on hardware integrity and side channel attacks (i.e. attacks not done on a live qubes system), hence the general discouragement on dual booting it with anything else. Since you say that you are new to Qubes, I'd guess you jumped in with the wrong approach: just another OS to try. This approach is fine by itself, but the method to successfully try Qubes is not dual booting, but using the live usb distro. TL;DR: if you want to try qubes, don't dual boot it, but use the Live USB instead. If you like Qubes, but want to keep Windows, then you are not sure you like Qubes. In this case, keep a separate computer for windows use and install Qubes on a different computer. If you do really really like qubes, you may want to try a Windows HVM inside of an installation. Don't dual boot it unless you are a solution developer / integrator, or have a really strong motive to defeat its main purpose (security) and just want to play around. -- Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
