Qubes and other security-focused distros |
|
With the increasingly intrusive ways the big technology companies and governments encroach on the privacy of internet users, it's always reassuring to know that the Linux community continues to develop excellent products that attempt to preserve whatever little seclusion we might still enjoy while browsing the world wide web. Last week, LinuxSecurity.com's Brittany Day wrote an overview of some of the more prominent security-oriented Linux distributions, including Qubes OS, Tails, Parrot, BlackArch Linux and Whonix. On the subject of Qubes OS, the author writes: "Qubes OS is an ideal choice for users looking to mitigate risk by compartmentalizing their digital life. A key feature of this operating system is the confinement of high-risk applications to separate virtual machines. Multiple virtual machines - or 'qubes' - are used to organize and separate systems around 'work', 'personal', 'internet' and so on. These qubes, which are conveniently color-coded to help users differentiate them, are highly secure and can offer privacy advocates peace of mind in an increasingly invasive digital environment. As a result of this compartmentalization, if you happen to download malware to your work machine, your personal files won't be affected and vice versa." |
