Are there any QubesOS hardening guides or tips or are the default settings hardened enough?

what do you recommend

I think Qubes achieves to be a reasonably secure OS by focusing on compartmentalization while giving up on “hardening” stuff.

See:

So I would say it is not “hardened” enough but who cares? :slight_smile:

Dom0 is already very reasonably hardened. I’d advise against doing any significant “hardening” modifications within dom0. However, you can still harden the templates themselves, I suppose. But then again, what could constitute “hardening” in your case depends entirely on your threat model.

Hardening against what?

Tell me your threat model and I tell you, as good as I can, how to harden your Qubes OS installation.
