To what extent disp VMs in QubesOS are amnestic?

Tails is amnestic. How much a disposable whonix might leak relative to tails? What is left exactly?

If it’s just a little information (like this user has used whonix or tor), that’s not concerning . If it might leave traces of communication, DNS, files, that could be game over.

Whonix is supposed to be better than Tails. I know in terms of security it is better but not sure of privacy.

You can use this. Dispvms and dom0 on varlibqubes and all another VMs on vm-pool. Qubes in tmpfs 🤫

It’s fully “as tails”

Quite a lot. It spills a lot of logs to dom0 by default.

Whose idea was it to export a lot of logs from a VM that is meant to be ephemeral, by default?!!

Sounds like a choice, that can be changed to zero or absolutely necessary logs.

That’s not that simple. As far as I understand, the VM is not technically meant to be ephemeral, the volume is. Every linux distribution exports a lot of logs by default, even Tails OS (in that case, on RAM?).

Reading the previously mentioned Github issues will give you an insight into the questions related to this topic.

Dom0 on ram too

At least disposable whonix should be read only like tails. It’s doable as tails shows.
