Like I said, I don‘t have a problem with your opinion, although it seems to
me you made up your mind pretty quickly. That is part of today‘s zeitgeist;
one has to live with the fact, that a lot of people only read the headlines
and then pretend to know everything. They fill the gaps with their own story.
Anyway, I find your posts a little condescending. That‘s what bothers me.
I guess you never even installed Qubes.
I agree with you that it is important to follow basic precautions and that
for most people a GNU/Linux system should be enough. I just wanted to point
out, that there is much more, that can be done, if need be. You always
sacrifice convenience for the sake of privacy.
In your commentaries you are comparing apples and oranges. Of course, you
would still need strong passwords as virtualization has nothing to do with
securing an online account. I don‘t know what put the idea into your head
that Qubes or any other security focused operating system was keeping people
from being careful? I find that conclusion illogical. I think the opposite is
true. People who already mastered the basics might want to learn more.
Maybe it is overkill and hopefully I don‘t need that much security. I like
to try out these things because it increases my awareness to matters related
to computer security. Also, it is fun.
