What the experts are saying about Qubes

"If you're serious about security, QubesOS is the best OS available today. It's what I use, and free. Nobody does VM isolation better."
Edward Snowden, whistleblower and privacy advocate
"Happy thought of the day: An attacker who merely finds a browser bug can't listen to my microphone except when I've told Qubes to enable it."
Daniel J. Bernstein, mathematician, cryptologist, and computer scientist
"When I use Qubes I feel like a god. Software thinks that it's in control, that it can do what it wants? It can't. I'm in control."
Micah Lee, Freedom of the Press Foundation, The Intercept
"I am so much happier and less stressed out after switching to QubesOS. Can wholeheartedly recommend."
Christopher Soghoian, privacy researcher, activist, and principal technologist at the ACLU
"With QubesOS, I feel more comfortable accessing Tor Project infrastructure from the same laptop I use to execute random GameBoy ROMs I downloaded from the internet."
Isis Agora Lovecruft, cypherpunk and Tor Project core developer
"Donated a % of my consulting company's last year revenue to Qubes OS. I rely on it for all my work, and recommend it to clients too."
Peter Todd, Applied Cryptography Consultant
"I really like it [Qubes OS]. If your hardware supports it, I recommend it. Everything is super well thought-out."
Bill Budington, security engineer and technologist, Electronic Frontier Foundation
"Periodic shout out to [Rutkowska] and the QubesOS team for *years* of hard work to improve desktop security. Qubes is the real deal."
Kenn White, security researcher, Open Crypto Audit Project
"Trying out Qubes OS (qubes-os.org) recently; linux distro designed around increased security by virtualizing everything and making it really convenient to hop between VMs. Surprisingly good user-friendliness!"
Vitalik Buterin, creator of Ethereum
