I'm not switching my os to some obscure one for security and it doesn't make sense for me to isolate my browser from my system/files.
And yes my mail account is more critical than my local files.
- fsflover 2y agoXen is not an obscure system. Hardware isolation was broken last time in 2006 by the Qubes founder ("Blue pill software"). I open my email in a dedicated VM, so only my email provider could attempt to compromise me. Attachments are automatically opened in another, disposable VM.
- greenyies 2y agoI talk about the distro qubes os and not about xen. Also my email account and everything normal I do, is part of my normal life and it's very helpful to be normal. If I would ever do something out of the ordinary and want to do something which requires physical access, it's much easier to travel the world as someone who has a normal Internet profile. My personal data is protected enough on Gmail and gdrive. Everything else just doesn't exist anywhere.
