[qubes-users] Qubes 4 with Grsec could make a big splash

2016-11-22 Thread kev27
I saw this being retweeted by the Qubes account on Twitter. Can Grsec support still land in Qubes 4.0, or should we expect it for 4.1 or 4.2, etc? I think if Grsec would be enabled by default in Qubes, it would be no question that Qubes is the most secure operating system out there. -- You

[qubes-users] Qubes OS 4.0 + Wayland + Flatpaks - Can Qubes OS 4.0 become Wayland-only?
