Kudos to her pristine work in security, especially with QubesOS - more relevant as ever since LLMs are now finding and weaponizing bugs at lightspeed, QubesOS feels like the last trustworthy OS fortress left.

> What is Qubes OS?

Qubes OS is a free and open-source, security-oriented operating system for single-user desktop computing. Qubes OS leverages Xen-based virtualization to allow for the creation and management of isolated compartments called qubes.

These qubes, which are implemented as virtual machines (VMs), have specific:

    Purposes: with a predefined set of one or many isolated applications, for personal or professional projects, to manage the network stack, the firewall, or to fulfill other user-defined purposes.

    Natures: full-fledged or stripped-down virtual machines based on popular operating systems, such as Fedora, Debian, and Windows.

    Levels of trust: from complete to non-existent. All windows are displayed in a unified desktop environment with unforgeable colored window borders so that different security levels are easily identifiable.
