Qubes OS A reasonably secure operating system

What the experts are saying

Daniel J. Bernstein, mathematician, cryptologist, computer scientist

"I’m really excited about Qubes"

Micah Lee, Freedom of the Press Foundation, The Intercept

"With QubesOS, I feel more comfortable accessing Tor Project infrastructure from the same laptop I use to execute random GameBoy ROMs I downloaded from the internet."
