On October 11, the first release candidate for Qubes OS version 4.1 was announced. Qubes OS
is a security-oriented desktop operating system that uses multiple virtual
machines (VMs or “qubes“) to isolate
various types of functionality. The idea is to compartmentalize different
applications and operating-system subsystems to protect them from each
other and to limit access to the user’s data if an application is
compromised. Version 4.1 will bring several important enhancements to
help Qubes OS continue to live up to its motto: “A reasonably secure operating
system“.
