Qubes is the only well-maintained type-1 client hypervisor that exists as far as I know. I tried XenClient earlier in the decade, and it was an awesome product in my opinion. However, it ceased development. I think my use-case could be accomplished via iptables rules, but as I mentioned, I've

My use-case for Qubes is largely to help segment my work/personal systems as well as allow me to run VMs for development. That second part is a bit of a challenge, though. By design, whenever I spin up a new VM, I have to explicitly allow ports between the VM and my existing systems. I 100%
