It is because I need help.
So, I am worried about privacy in the world of electronic communications. I
heard about the existence of the NSA mass surveillance software, and from other
countries ([prism-break.org](http://prism-break.org/)). I also usually read
privacy policy and terms and conditions of what I am using.

A little of my history, it is not necessary to read

So I decide to use protonmail and tutanota for email services
I decide to navegate in invite mode on google chrome.
To install other mobile application in my phone that organize my email other
than gmail.
I discover thunderbird.
I discover criptext. (https://criptext.com/)
Run a vpn (reading terms and conditions & privacy policy: because there are
someone that keeps logs and do not accept bitcoin)
I used to think my communications where private doing this changes, until I
started to realize that It was not.
I discover a few articles saying that protonmail was not enough private.
(https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/1121.pdf)
This page says tutanota is not secure. (https://prxbx.com/email/)
I read privacy policy of thunderbird saying they transfer clients data to the
US. (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/thunderbird/)
I read criptext privacy policy and there is a lot of transfer data about each
client outside the country Panama.
I contacted with two organizations of mobile phone apps: mailbird and mymail
asking why they have the same privacy policy and a few questions of their
privacy policy
I discover this article against windows, my OS.

So I decide to install qubes os, to improve my security (I also read Edward
Snowden recommendation and Edward Snowden case).
First I saw three videos of people talking about qubes and their
characteristics, one in livestream and two in youtube.
Then I decide to follow step by step your instructions, but I have a lot of
problems. I read that the website is hosted on github, but I discover in readme
file that there is another website with other instructions.
I decide to verify the ISO (4.0.1) that I download of your canonical webiste
[qubes-os.org](http://qubes-os.org/), so I have a windows program called md5 &
sha Checksum utility and it says it all right (open digest and confirm that iso
sha256 is the same as in the hash sha 256 of website
(https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/qubes/iso/Qubes-R4.0.1-x86_64.iso.DIGESTS)).
I decide also to try to do it with gpg4win program, but I do not know how to do
it because is an iso, I do it with exe.
I also try with the instructions of your website, but I do not know how to
follow.
How will be the process? Did I do it good or bad verifying the ISO with
checksum utility?
Another question: what do you recomment to clone github and then run a
localhost server?
I only know a program that you install with npm commands that is called: litte
server.
I read readmd from github, and
with docker you can not do it because you have to have windows enterprise or
pro (I only have windows home).
If I have an ISO, and I have check with sha256, why do I want to verify with
signatures of the others repositores? Where do I have to write all that
commands?
Do you need that someone host the website with url
[qubes-os.org](http://qubes-os.org/)? It is because I do not understand one
thing: I verify a software that could be manipulated by third parties, but the
signature key too; isn´t it?
So It makes sense verify the software when downloading only of third website,
isn't it?
Why do I have to verify Qubes Repos if I had verify the iso? Are Qubes Repos
different from the iso, or complements for the software?
Qubes was created in September 3, 2012. What has happened with the other
developers of 2012 (I do not see in your web)?
All the instructions are for apple users? It because it is writed "sudo" in the
steps.
"Untrustworthy firmware. (Firmware can be malicious even if the drive is new.
Plugging a drive with rewritable firmware into a compromised machine can also
compromise the drive. Installing from a compromised drive could compromise even
a brand new Qubes installation.)"
I read article of badusb, but what usb do you recommend (because I do not
find)?
Curious question: what the people is normally asking when sending an email to
business inquiries?
