Tomu support (30$ ) (works fine!) https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/tomu porting gnuk to tomu (opensource analog yubikey, needed to use heads) https://github.com/osresearch/heads-wiki/blob/master/GPG.md Dev: https://github.com/aze00/gnuk/tree/efm32 PR: https://github.com/im-tomu/tomu-samples/pull/35 Issue: https://github.com/im-tomu/tomu-samples/issues/4 Alternative - Nitrokey https://shop.nitrokey.com/shop/product/nitrokey-start-6 (based on gnuk) 3. https://inversepath.com/usbarmory nice compatibility (works without any issues) 4. for good work you need a bundle i7 2gen, 16 RAM and good SSD disk ( I completely lack 256 gigabytes ) main templates : archlinux artful bionic centos-7 debian-9 dev (buster) fedora-28 kali-rolling void-template whonix-ws-14 whonix-gw-14 works fine and easy build from https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-builder + 8-10 services (vpn,tor,wireguard etc) + 3-4 disp vm's (internet browsing) + 8+10 domains Total disk usage : 20.4% lvm : 36.2% 77.4GB/213.8GB So, 256GB is enough. 5.
