at least a bit of the inner working must be known: disp vm is useful and you have to stop a qube that you don't use to free some resources. updates could be made automatic (or manual if a usere prefear this). > Here are some of the things they want to do: > Read their emails. > Go online in a secure way. > Browse without risking their emails/bank accounts > Open a web browser that wont keep history/cant compromise their private > stuff. > Look at pictures from phones/ downloads as safely as possible. > Keep their system updated. I always used windows, and i find it easy to use: just two buttons (mouse) + is all gui. from long time i started using virtual box to open untrusted exe (any exe) to increase my security and when i learnt about qubes i have found it as a natural extension of what i was already doing. i have found the qubes manager quite similar to the virtual box window used to start, stop and edit vm settings and both were VERY nice and EASEY to use. i have not yet tested qubes 4 because i'm waiting for the definitive version and because if vt-d and slat become mandatory i don't have them so qubes will not run (on my pc i have only vt-x). as a user i don't care in which language is written the manager, if it is a single big app or small with plugins, i also understand that for a developer it makes a huge difference. i hope that a new manager will be written; or something where you can find the state of the whole system without using the terminal. i CAN use linux but i DON'T want to use it, i find gui much easier and faster to use and to learn. please don't force users to use a terminal, it is not going to work https://www.xkcd.com/1168/ from qubes manager you could rightclick, open settings and just by looking and clicking tabs you could see all the possible settings, for example you could see that a setting " ammount of ram" existed and what was its value. how am i supposed to discover that such setting exists using a terminal? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
