Whonix is great. I use it all the time in my dayjob. I write a lot of scripts that have to interact with criminal (malware c&c, phishing website, etc) infrastructure, including APT analysis. You don't want to make an opsec fail and/or leak your IP in a situation like this. Instead of doing something fragile and error-prone, like being careful to use a proxy all the time in my code, having a VPN, etc, I just run everything in Whonix and sleep well at night.

What if your Whonix has an APT installed now?
You just sit there as your buddy says, "Well i guess they deserve that win."
Whonix is also included in Qubes OS, so good luck establishing persistence given that it's a disposable template.
Hey, the brand new account has a glowing review! This is certainly not promotional!
Yeah I agree mate the brand new account should be accusing OP of advertising a software that is already well known and widespread
