Should I use Qubes?

Kind of true. If one uses laptop with CPU that is not recent Intel 11-12Gen then it’s quite possible that even Youtube will be quite laggy playing basic 1080p@60fps videos. In Kubuntu it will work flawlessly even in 5 players simultaneously due to hardware acceleration that is not available to qubes in Qubes OS. Other stuff is about twice slower to my estimation, that is not a lot. Qubes OS has several advantages over GNU/Linux for average users: It can run applications completely offline…

Do you really need to use Qubes?

While sometimes great, I like more having the GUI of a VM all insider a separate window, and I find the seamless method from Qubes less useful.

Why one would use Qubes OS?

In this blog post, I tried to share my thoughts about Qubes OS, because it’s really hard to describe it to someone when they ask why would someone use that. I’ll talk about it in our internal knowledge sharing session at my job later in the week, that was the opportunity to gather thoughts before making some talk with slides I’d be curious to read your opinions about that
