    Qubes is an ultra secure Linux distributon:

    The Qubes OS project introductory page explains that it uses is a form of security by compartmentalization (or security by isolation as described on the architecture page). This allows you to divide the various parts of your digital life into securely isolated 'qubes' (virtual machines).

    By way of an example, this would mean that malware downloaded via a web browser in the "personal" qube would not be able to access sensitive data in the "work" qube. Similarly, a BadUSB device attached to the the "untrusted" qube will not be able to access any sensitive files in the other qubes.

    Anyone who wants to see my review of v3.2 on Linux Weekly News is very welcome : https://lwn.net/Articles/705827/

    If anyone has had a chance to use Qubes, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
