A correction and addendum brought to my attention, thanks! 1. MAC changing -- Do it anyway, you're more likely to be tracked down that way than cameras, excellent Qubes documentation on that: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/anonymizing-your-mac-address/ You can confirm it works by randomizing it

Yeah, I just want to know how to get the actual SHA-256 of the Qubes ISO. I don't know how to use DIGESTS. Is verifying the master file and sig file a different process than comparing the sha-256? Do they provide the same level of security. Sorry, I know it's a pain bc I don't know much,
