Qubes OS is a hybrid computing technology that raises the bar for security. It takes locking down computers to a new level. It has advanced far beyond the primitive proof of concept demonstrated more than four years ago. Beta Release 2, which arrived in late September, is a powerful desktop OS. Qubes succeeds in seamless integrating security by isolation into the user experience. However, comparing Qubes to a typical Linux distro is akin to comparing the Linux OS to Unix.
Qubes announced a partnership with Purism today to preinstall Qubes OS on Librem notebooks. Runs perfectly on the hardware. The companies intend to focus on developing a more secure and easier to use OS and laptop in the future.
