Qubes OS

Fair warning: copious amounts of glazing ahead

QubesOS is essentially a hypervisor that you can use as a desktop OS. Qubes allows you to run all of your programs inside of VMs, and streamlines the experience. Pretty neat, huh?

The beauty of Qubes is, besides being the a perfect OS for self-prescribed OCD people like myself, it is still very usable. I am able to manage work tasks, which sometimes requiring using icky closed source software like TeamViewer, inside of VMs that you use and dispose of immediately after.

But how?

Qubes does some fancy, arguably over-the-top things such as isolating usb and network devices from the host (seen as AdminVM aka dom0 in the diagram), in an effort to contain would-be exploitation attempts safely inside VMs.
