Hi, i'm asking because my hardware is not compatible with qubes 4.0

Is not safe to use Qubes OS 3.2?

Thanks

It is less safe to use 3.2 than it used to be when it was getting 
patches. It doesn't immediately become unsafe once it is no longer 
supported, especially if you are keeping the templates up to date with 
security patches. However, the longer you stay on 3.2, the less safe it 
gets.


If the choice is between using qubes 3.2 and using a monolithic linux 
distro (because of incompatibility with 4.0), i'd say 3.2 is still the 
better choice, but i'm not an expert.

Just curious, I'm guessing it's because of the VT-d requirement?

Like others have said, 3.2 is still probably safer than some random distro.

I wish we could have stuck with the PV-based VMs, which wouldn't require 
VT-d, and are probably more efficient, but I can understand the reasons 
for the switch to PVH.
