Joanna's (Qubes OS Founder) blog [1] is a gold mine when it comes to hardware-software boundary security. Especially "State considered harmful" [2] and "x86 considered harmful" [3] papers are eye-openers.

That's why I don't get Qubes. She knows what a steaming pile PC hardware is, and decides to write a spinoff OS for it???

Seems like she'd have more effect designing hardware.

It is a lot easier to do the best you can with tech that exists. Building a completly new type of computer and and OS is not easy.

She is working on hardware but that is not as easy to bring into the wider world.
