Qubes has salt stack and some features for manageability. Look here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/salt https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2017/06/27/qubes-admin-api It does not require *users* to be familiar with Linux, but undoubtedly admins do. I don't know what a power user is. Sensible selection from the HCL make the choices somewhat limited, but workable. I know some SMEs that use Qubes, but the sysadmins are extremely competent in Linux and Xen. The biggest blocker to widespread adoption is the somewhat sketchy support for Windows imo. (Win 7 support is generally good, but later?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
