lol what?
If you think its wrong then show it. Show where I can get the source code and build instructions to build my own debian image.
Do your own homework. Start with LFS, go from there. This might also be an interesting read.
so i am right and you are wrong. linux from SCRATCH you are a joke.
Look up LFS (linux from scratch), not debian but linux distro.
@chappedafloat
Just two remarks, some of jour points read like they are based on your assumptions. It’s strange to write about ‘Linux’ because Linux is like an ecosystem of distros, which also are the core of qubesOS.
Please take this as a friendly feedback.
I clearly said if i’m not sure about something. I takes time to do research if you can do better than go ahead and show us what you know. If you think something I said is wrong then please make a constructive reply and tell us all how it really is.
And QubesOS isnt based on linux kernel. It uses Xen. Linux is used in the Qubes aka VMs.
The dom0 is very much running a Linux kernel, the same way your domU:s are typically running Linux kernels (although you could probably run any kernel in hvm mode).
As an example, here is the documentation on how to manage updates for the dom0 kernel:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/how-to-install-software-in-dom0/#kernel-upgrade
@chappedafloat
So you did not take it as a friendly feedback.
i took it as dumb worthless feedback, that’s why I tried to tell you how you can make it constructive on your next try if you actually know anything.
This is incorrect, Semi/KVM is also a type 1 hypervisor. KVM has a slight edge on performance due to better cpu pinning.
I jave a question: When using Qubes for browsing, each browser in each qube has its own fingerprint? WebGL hash for exemple
OP is wrong about firmware. linux-firmware package is not about mitigating firmware vulnerabilities. It’s just blobs for things like nvidia and other stuff. I don’t know if Linux has firmware vulnerability mitigation but if it doesn’t then QubesOS is much better because it does prevent a lot of the vulnerabilities by disabling hyperthreading.
CPU vulnerability mitigations would typically be distributed with the
intel-microcodepackage for Intel processors on Debian-based distributions, for example.so how much mitigations? I’ve heard 0. do you know? 1 mitigation? 2?
Forgot to change accounts?
You not op? Where is original?
Qubes os is on a whole different level when it comes to security, its not equal to other distors at all. Even Chrome os (guest acc only) is better than most of the big distros.
