Unbekannte USB-Sticks können sehr schnell zu Gefahr für den eigenen Client und das eigene Netzwerk werden. Das Gleiche gilt auch, wenn man seine Sticks nur mal schnell ausleiht. Eine Schadsoftware ist schnell eingeschleppt.

USB-Sticks sind zu analysieren oder ganz zu löschen, bevor man sie an den eigenen Client anschließt.

#QubesOS eignet sich mit seinem Sicherheitskonzept besonders gut 👍.

@malte #QubesOS hatten wir angeschaut, es lief hier auf keinen vorhandenen Gerät. Extra ein Notebook für das Experiment kaufen war uns zu stressig.

@AwetTesfaiesus #QubesOS hat eine steile lernkurve, aber denkt unter anderem genau solche szenarien mit.

For the #NixOS #QubesOS and #reproduciblebuilds nerds out there, I finally found some time to clean this up enough for post my fully-reproducible NixOS template for QubesOS PR: https://github.com/evq/qubes-nixos-template/pull/7

This feels so niche it kind of hurts my soul. FWIW I'll do a lightning talk on the value of build reproducibility on Thursday, so maybe I can get a few more people to care.

Big question

Has anyone here gotten an nvidia single gpu passthrough setup working in QubesOS?

Finally using Qubes OS ... wish I had dived in earlier. It forces me to do everything I kept putting off, because I was "too busy", had no time for, and a series of other terrible excuses. Now, I have to work in a manner that should be our default behaviour. A decent #learning curve, but well worth it.

@solene has a great article on using Flatpak.

Back to learning and setting up my new system...

So, one Linux distro I recently donated to is QubesOS, a distro running in the Xfce desktop environment.

One thing that I really love about this OS is the fact that instead of the basic layout one expects from a computer, Qubes focuses on compartmentalizing everything people do online into different virtual machines, and even a specialized WindowsVM for specific Microsoft applications.

Ok. Time for #clt2026 ... My German will be put to test :D (please take mercy on all the times I stare blankly at people because I'm still processing the words). Also, we have a #qubesOS stand, come by if you want to chat!

I do love when I fall into rabbit holes, kind of, but today's excursion got unhealthy. As in I barely did any of the things I was supposed to do, or meant to do.

FWIW, I got a fully reproducible (as in byte-reproducible) #NixOS #QubesOS 4.3 template working. Well, working is a bit of an overstatement but I got as far as this.

Most of the work was done by evq here https://github.com/evq/qubes-nixos-template I just banged my head against the wall until my ancient memories of Qubes OS internals bubbled up, and got interested in how reproducible ext4 images could work. Anyway. I'll assemble an in-depth PR some other time (tomorrow is travel day), but I've wanted this since 2022.

There, that's one type of neurospicy that I am 🤦

Seems to me we are quickly approaching a moment in time where QubesOS, with all the elaborate and resource-draining virtualization, becomes more performant than Windows. :blobcatcoffee:

Qubes OS - WireGuard VPN zur eigenen FRITZ-Box

#WireGuard-Verbindungen lassen sich wunderbar in Qubes OS als eigenständige Net Cubes anlegen und VMs zu ordnen.

Damit wird es sehr einfach mehrere unterschiedliche VPN-Verbindungen zu verwalten und je nach Bedarf den VMs zu zuordnen.

@tokyo_0

A very popular option is #QubesOS for privacy. It's very popular among journalists and activists in dangerous situations. It was even endorsed by Edward Snowden IIRC.

But I heard that many prefer #secureblue since its more user-friendly and makes a smoother daily driver, though I can't vouch too hard for this since I've never given it a go.

Mir gehen langsam die (umsetzbaren) Ideen aus.

Es laufen hier #QubesOS, #GrapheneOS, #OpenWRT, #Proxmox, #Yunohost …

Der E-Book-Reader ist von #PocketBook.

Apps kommen per #Accrescent und #Obtainium.

Die wenigen Smart-Home-Devices haben #Tasmota.

Gebootet wird per #Coreboot.

Eingeloggt wird per HW Fido2 Provider, #KeePassDX, passage und (mangels Alternative) #Yubikey.

Success!

QubesOS is now on my laptop. All I need to do now is get stuff set up and my various configs imported. This is the fun bit!

Support has really gotten better for my hardware since I last tried to get it on my XPS 13!

#QubesOS

Looking to see if QubesOS will install nicely on my XPS 13. For more info on what QubesOS is, check it out here: https://doc.qubes-os.org/en/latest/introduction/intro.html

There are reports that it kinda works on my device, and it would be really awesome if it did, as I could then use my laptop as a daily driver again.

If not, then I get to pick a Linux distro to put on it, and then go from there. Once I've got a good, functional device, I can look to rebuilding my office PC with qubes and a small windows partition for games.

For now: Backups.

I gotta make sure the laptop is backed up correctly before nuking. Ain't no way I'm getting burned this time!

Thinking about going over to #Qubes #QubesOS again given the way the worlds going.

Anyone using it as a daily driver? Any pitfalls?

So back on #QubesOS / #Xen. There is definitely something wrong with how it forwards the A380 into the #windows VM.

Now that I've remote desktop enabled (and can conenct with the A380 disconnected just fine) I now can also see a black screen via RDP when the A380 is passed into it.

(Note: passing the two end devices, aka the one for the video and the one for the audio of the A380 worked just fine in KVM on #NixOS. So it is something Xen/QubesOS does that breaks it...

So rebooted into NixOS and after having compiled some food I've tried passing through the end devices using KVM. And well it works with KVM. So what is wrong with my #QubesOS aka. #Xen config then?

Also because I thought it was funny I also tried attaching the Intel A380 to a windows XP VM.
The generic driver for the video card doesn't work.
It has a generic audio driver that almost works. It matches the device but fails to start :p

Oh, Xen cannot pcie passthrough "non endpoint devices" like KVM can. That makes things unnecessarily difficult...

Why can't I just passthrough the entire PCI-PCI bridge device?

#Xen #QubesOS #KVM

What do you think, what is the better thing to user for a home lab setup with 1 and maybe in 1-2 years a 2nd host that is also used as the main desktop.

Or should I go with a full on VCF install (just kidding, I'd at most I can run it nested, as I'd have almost 0 resources available once all of its management components have booted up)

Hello #thinkpad bubble, I need your help: my trustyold #X201 is nearing the end of its lifespan, so I need a (used) replacement. It should work for the next 5 years, so battery must be replaceable (I am able to replace a built-in battery as long as it's not soldered). I will use #qubesos . I don't care for a big graphics card, but the more RAM the better. No heavy CPU load, though. X480? X490? T14? I'm a bit lost here.

Edit: re-post due to wrong Qubes OS tag

Some more good news...

@QubesOS is now graciously funding further development of Wyng, with the expressed goal of eventually integrating fast & secure Wyng backups into Qubes OS. This next stage of Wyng development will focus on a raft of features from the v0.9 roadmap that enhance convenience and user-friendliness, such as resuming interrupted backup sessions and direct cloud storage support.

Many thanks to the Qubes OS team for recognizing the advantages Wyng brings and for their support!

About:

Wyng is a backup system optimized for Linux copy-on-write (lvm-thin and Btrfs). Qubes OS is the hypervisor-based, reasonably secure desktop operating system: https://www.qubes-os.org/

I'm looking for virtualization-based desktop Linux setup

I love virtualization in Linux and I would like to have operating system which will work only as minimal, air-gapped as much is possible host for my guest operating systems. Qubes OS project really interested me but it’s based on Xen hypervisor so it might cause troubles with GPU Passthrough which is really important for me also I’m more interested in KVM. In my case it’s not only about security and privacy but also about fun and learning. What can you recommend? I think that good choice might be Gentoo Linux because it allows for minimal installation and remove unnecessary software like CUPS, Bluetooth entirely with flags which will be great option for host only OS. But I had experience with Gentoo and it’s not easiest way 😅 Debian might be easier option but I will have less control over my system. Maybe you have other interesting options?

Still currently maxed out on my vacation time, so it's #PayDayOff #Today.

Spent basically all day redoing my old #Thinkpad X1c. Swapped the RAM from my old xeon laptop to go from 32 -> 64 GB, added a second m2 nvme drive to double usable storage to a TB.

Currently doing a #guix reconfigure after a new install, so that'll take about forever. Then it's time to see about doing the #SSS setup for it.

My thinking is to have the home directory live on the second drive.

I also thought about running #QubesOS on the thing, but I just dunno on that one yet.

Diesen Vorschlag hat er mir such gemacht.
Es klingt vom Prinzip her etwas wie GrapheneOS fürs Google Pixel.

I'm having a problem with Mullvad not working on Qubes...

Something happened that made Mullvad stop working altogether or become super unreliable...

I'm stuck on this part:

"Make sure that WireGuard connects"
1️⃣ Run
sudo wg-quick up /home/user/se-got-wg-001.conf

When I run that I get a

"resolvconf: command not found"...

so all I have is to install resolvconf, got it...omg, how could this take me 2 days to figure out!?

Good news: we are helping to get a bug fixed in #QubesOS. It looks like the upcoming 4.3 will allow attaching a hidraw device on the first try.

That means no workarounds required to use #Signet on Qubes, and it'll likely fix other devices too.

(I've been using mine with #Qubes for years, but it'll be nice to not have to enable usb-reset-on-attach anymore)

Perfect choice for a #Qubes workstation. This is great news and worth the wait.

If I had money, I would buy this laptop right now. Maybe I should. Who knows how much we'll pay to #Trump and #Musk after the #tariffs kick in.
