Hello dears,
Addition to general safe precautions we should use our PC's as safely. That topic is far away than cold storing.As you know statistically Windows > OSX/Linux in use all over the world. Then as a natural result infections and viruses for Windows is very high even no need to compare. I generally advise my friends to use Linux distrubitions for vital and critical workplace. Why? Cause Linux systems are safer than other two ones even than OSX.
And my main reason to open that new topic is, showing you more and more safe operating system in even Linux distrubitions.
Qubes OSHow differs than other OS?You may know
Virtual Machines and
Sandbox environments for safe launch of programs as isolated area. Qubes OS's name comes from that evironments "qubes" where isolated from each others. Giving example:
You can use MEW with Firefox/Chrome etc in a safety workplace qube and ordinary web surf side by side. Keyloggers malwares and other harmful stuff never reaches your safety qube.
For banking process you can apply ultimate safety zone with qube that never be affected other workplace.
Qubes OS is based on Fedora and compatible with Debian/Windows for virtual machine environment. That means you can use all those ones' applications in qubes as safely by your wishes.
I'm new in Qubes OS too so exploring it myself
. I do not mention all details here you may look up docs of it and Google. I think you gonna like it just like me by the time of progress. I want to see other experienced users who already used or still using Qubes OS what under that topic comments. Please share with us your thoughts.
*Qubes OS can not save you cause of personal faults like sharing private key/master key on anywhere via Internet network. So QOS against to viruses/malwares
