Oh, good to know... In other words, sandboxing is not the best practice on Linux... So I'm better off with Qubes than with Secureblue

I could use gvisor inside distrobox inside an appVM in Qubes, couldn't I?

Many CVE's for Xen were discovered and patched by the Qubes folks, so that's a good thing...

As for OpenBSD, I thought I mentioned in the blog post that I'm intending to use it as sys-net VM inside Qubes if not as HVM alongside my Linux appVMs, for when I need Linux. The best of both worlds, so to say.

Well, I'm not sure why they didn't include Secureblue qubes...

I don't do gaming or intensive development, so it's fine for me.

AppVMs are isolated in Qubes even without the help of Wayland

Thanks, Ironclad and Gloire look interesting for a RISC-V system, gonna try out at some point alongside CheriBSD

I'm all for a better Flatpak, but I'm on the fence with full-on usage of Rust, I'd wait for there to be a second Rust compiler. Otherwise, sandboxing might be enough for some users, but not exactly for me.

I actually forgot to mention it, but I was going to say anyway that sandboxing I deem less ideal than paravirtualization

GNOME is just the default, there's also KDE and no-GUI options if I'm not mistaken

Chimera is a nice alternative to Alpine, have you thought of sending this feedback to Chimera's dev?

It works decently with just 8 GB RAM, and I'm going to upgrade the RAM.

Secureblue is based on sandboxing rather than paravirtualization, and I'm not sure that's secure enough for me.

TL;DR - About switching from Linux Mint to Qubes OS from among various other options that try to provide security out-of-the-box (also discussed: OpenBSD, SculptOS, Ghaf, GrapheneOS)

Did they also ban Github after all?

One can use a different init system for a reason such as reduced attack surface. OpenRC ihas much lighter codebase than systemd.
