Qubes OS is an open source Linux-based operating system designed to provide advanced security by isolating different tasks and applications on separate environments. Launched in 2012, Qubes OS is designed for users who need a high level of security, such as security researchers, journalists, activists and businesses.
Qubes OS uses virtualization to isolate tasks and applications on separate environments, called "domains." Each domain is separate from the others, which means that if a task or application is compromised in one domain, it will not affect the other domains. For example, you can run your web browser in an isolated domain, so that if the browser is infected with malware, it will not affect other domains, such as your personal files or your bank account.
Qubes OS also has a modular architecture that allows users to customize their work environment to suit their security needs. Additional security features can be added, such as protection against soft keyboard attacks, protection against USB attacks or network isolation.
In summary, Qubes OS is a security-focused open source operating system that provides advanced task and application isolation to protect users from online attacks.
