However, and I believe that’s what @tempmail is hinting at, you should be aware that there is a lot you’ll have to learn if you are not somewhat familiar with Linux.

Absolutely. I was trying to find a starting point to help with. Sorry I didn’t elaborate as you did and as I should.

@gonzalo-bulnes

Different people will give you different advice, and you are probably the only one who really knows what’s best for you. That being said, you’ll often see suggestions of learning with some traditional Linux distribution first (like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora…) because a lot of Qubes OS builds on that knowledge. I personally believe that’s often a good suggestion.

@phirip

I was interested in security

Well I’d give a different advice. My suggestion would be to start from the scratch: to think through what exactly would you try to secure, or to describe/define your threat model. What are you trying to protect and from whom.

Just doing this would get you closer and faster to Qubes than anything else, I could bet. Patience and persistence are crucial, and rewards are huge once you get in.

Thank you for your kind advice. I’ll look into it positively. Actually, that might be a good thing because there were a lot of things I didn’t understand.

read everything in privacyguides.org. then read it again. then again.

then come back.

Qubes is the best. there’s nothing wrong with starting with qubes. Qubes is the best but the hardest OS.

You are right to want to stop using Windows if you are interested in security and technology.

Thanks. I will try again Qubes.
