There is [[https://livestream.com/internetsociety2/hope/videos/178431606][a 51 minute video of a presentation on QubesOS]] by [[https://micahflee.com/][Micah Lee]]
which is a journalist at [[https://firstlook.org/theintercept/][The Intercept]] and board of [[https://pressfreedomfoundation.org/][Freedom of the
Press]]. He gave the talk at [[https://www.hope.net/index.html][HOPE]] in July in New York City.

QubesOS is a GNU/Linux distribution optimized for being highly secure
due to compartmentalization using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen][Xen virtualization]] between a bunch
of different OS instances, partly being just temporary instances.
Previous year, I [[id:2017-07-23-Qubes-OS][wrote a blog post after I tested QubesOS v3.2]]. The
most current version now is 4.0.

Lee also wrote a [[https://micahflee.com/2014/04/the-operating-system-that-can-protect-you-even-if-you-get-hacked/][blog article on QubesOS in 2014]].

If you're interested in a good overview on how you can profit from the
QubesOS features and its fairly good usability integration, take your
time and [[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7584221][watch the video]].
