I think there might be some confusion here. Whonix was designed from the the ground up to be run inside virtual machines. You can run Whonix in VirtualBox, KVM *and* Qubes Os. You can run a passwork manager in a Whonix VM in Qube Os. other than that, it > depends on how hard your adversaries are trying. another advantage of qubes > is ease of disposable vms. with whonix youd have to make a template whonix > workstation for the same effect, but thats a one time step that you'll > probably do anyway. Since Whonix can be run in Qubes OS you can also create Whonix DisposableVMs the same a with Fedora and Debian. > > qubes uses xen, which has a smaller attack surface and much better track > record for vm escape vulns. And Whonix can also be run in Qubes. I don't think the two can reasonably be compared. Without Virtual machines (Whonix, Debian, Fedora etc.) running in Qubes, the OS (Qubes) would be non-usable. To start learning about Qubes and Whonix, this would be a good start. https://www.qubes-os.org/intro/ https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Main_Page https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Comparison_with_Others https://www.whonix.org/wiki/About https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Comparison_of_different_Whonix_variants https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Features >if you cant use that, make sure you keep up to > date on virtualbox. if you dont like virtualbox, you might be able to > import whonix to libvirt / kvm. > https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/importing-vms-kvm-virt-v2v KVM should be prefered over VirtualBox. https://www.whonix.org/wiki/KVM#Why_Use_KVM_Over_VirtualBox.3F > you will be fingerprinted as a whonix, and possibly virtualbox / kvm user. > Whonix protects against fingerprinting. But this is not a really a comparision that can be made with Qubes. https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Protocol-Leak-Protection_and_Fingerprinting-Protection > On Friday, August 30, 2019 at 9:17:48 AM UTC-7, O K wrote: >> >> Ok but for my purpose of being online and wanting my traffic and hardware >> info isolated (and that's all I'm worried about - mainly anything that can >> identify me personally), in your opinion do you think Qubes will provide me >> with significant advantages for my particular needs vs. Whonix? Thanks. Run Whonix *in* Qubes OS. Thats your best bet for sure.
