I think I expend enough time, I mean in my post I do acknowledge that it
seems pretty secure and that it seems it does what is meant to do.
I also pointed some dowsides. That they on their website point. Like the lack
of OpenGL, which means if you work in something like design, architecture,
videogames, video edition, and similar, you will probably fare problems, also
if you like games orbhave kids who like games.
Hence the dual boot talk, but hey you can't dualboot to do that stuff, so you
will need a second pc if you need that, which kind of defeats the purpose.
I also said that this kind of protection, from my point of view, is an
overkill for most users (i never said All of them) because if you follow a
few basic steps and precautions a GNU/Linux is very secure.
I also mentioned interface from what i assume would be the use of a normal
user. Who would have trouble seeing 2 or 3 different web browsers or
libreoffice.
It is also a system that seems to be designed to be used by the same person,
as it has a passwordless root https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vm-sudo/ and
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/user-faq/#is-qubes-a-multi-user-system
Recently I've started to learn about social engineering and thats the exact
reason why I think this approach is even worst for most users. As it teaches
them to care even less about that 1234 password, because hey, their computer
can't be affected by cybercrime right?
As I said I think it is a best approach for most users to follow a few basic
precautions, like use password managers, use only software repositories,
don't trust email and so on.
