With 8Gb of RAM I have been happily using Qubes 4 in my work workstation since rc2. I suggest to use the mirage firewall image [1] to save aound a Gb of RAM

The fedora 27 images can easily reach 5Gb of use under heavy load, but in gneneral I have pretty good performances and I usually have a couple of throwaway VMs and the main work VM running and dealing with web, co pilations of various sort and editing.

I wonder if there was any progress on integrating with ReactOS[1].

I had the bug with the disk encryption screen on my xp13 as well. Removing the splash screen and just having a terminal helped it boot normaly. Something along the lines of this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/854388/ubuntu-16-04-cannot-e...

Here's a link to Qubes' security tracker with the updated details about it: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-secpack/blob/master/QSBs/qs...

Snowden: "I’ll just namecheck Qubes here, just because it’s interesting. I’m really excited about Qubes because the idea of VM-separating machines, requiring expensive, costly sandbox escapes to get persistence on a machine, is a big step up in terms of burdening the attacker with greater resource and sophistication requirements for maintaining a compromise. I’d love to see them continue this project. I’d love to see them make it more accessible and much more secure. [You can read more about how to use Qubes here and here.]

Something that we haven’t seen that we need to see is a greater hardening of the overall kernels of every operating system through things like grsecurity [a set of patches to improve Linux security], but unfortunately there’s a big usability gap between the capabilities that are out there, that are possible, and what is attainable for the average user."
