50 sats \ 7 replies \ @justin_shocknet 20 Sep \ on: Best linux distro for security and easy to use tech
Quebes is based on a hypervisor, it's more about isolation of apps from one another in a desktop setting, less about overall security.. imagine zoom for example stealing your secrets in userspace, isolation of zoom to a vm helps prevent that
Debian is probably the best mix, has the most eyes on it and conservative release cycles.
Rocky Linux probably close though from a RedHat/Fedora ecosystem preference perspective.
Ease of use depends on what you tend to find difficult about Linux, either should support the same hardware pretty equally, using KDE on either gets the same desktop experience.... (K)Ubuntu/Debian probably has slightly more guides, forum posts, or tutorials from which to learn or tweak things.
If you decide to take ease of use out of the equation completely then there's Guix, Alpine, Nix
If you're truly paranoid there's no second best to OpenBSD (not Linux)
Interersting perspective, I think I like debian and find it easy to use because I've been using it for years, like saying your mother longue is the easiest.

OpenBSD over Qubes?
reply
What do you mean?
reply
Well, OpenBSD is a monolithic kernel and Qubes is not, as was noted by @justin_shocknet. Qubes, then, is an architecture meant to contain intrusions, whereas OpenBSD can't do that should an intrusion occur.

Oh my question was supposed to be to the post "OpenBSD over Qubes?"
reply
Very different use profiles, OpenBSD largely for appliances
reply
Sure, but I'd say Qubes has the edge.
