Copyvio? edit
There's a lot of what appears to be WP:Copyvio pasted from the Invisible Things website, and Distrowatch. Not sure which came first, but both are copyrighted. Altered Walter (talk) 12:29, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Primary Sources edit
Of the 10 references cited 7 are from either the developer's blog or Qubes official web page.
Its my perspective that this is a notable OS an warrants an article in WP, but it does need better references than currently offered --SimonBramfitt (talk) 04:36, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Update logo edit
I don't have privileges to upload an image to wikipedia, please update the logo from the website:

Thanks! CreakCask (talk) 22:25, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hi @CreakCask:. Maybe it's my color-blindness, but I can't tell the different between the linked logo and the one in the article. --Michael Reed (talk) 23:55, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
Nonsensical sentence edit
As of [1], there's a sentence that says:
Qubes targets the desktop market. This market is dominated by laptops ...

- Hello 51Oq,
- That was posted by Joanna Rutkowska on the Qubes OS mailing list back in 2010 (might have been the case at the time). I think it could be specified in the article. I plan to do some work on this article at some point in the future (perhaps including a history) but right now I am focused on other things. Regards, IrrationalBeing (talk) 10:31, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
Update screenshot edit
Can we please get an updated screenshot of Qubes running Xfce? I know it is hard to take a screenshot and get it out of dom0 -- but that is a very ugly shot of Xfce. We need a screenshot of more of the default desktop look, where the text is not blown up massively as well a smaller bar at the top and not a ridiculous amount of desktop icons. Moreover, it would look nice if the screenshot had a few windows open from a few different qubes and the mouse hovering over the xfce drop down menu to show all the available qubes as well as the mouse clicking on a single qube on the menu to show all the available applications from a qube.

- Hello DreamlessGlare,
- I have uploaded a new screenshot which you can find here:
Qubes OS 4.1.0 running Whonix, VeraCrypt and Nautilus. - I didn't customize Xfce much, only applied a dark theme, increased the size of some elements and changed the panel a bit.
- I can happily do another one which shows the drop down menu, but I'd rather make a clean installation with the proposed configuration for a cleaner look and to avoid posting my complete configuration. Let me know what you think.
- It is my very first upload to Wikimedia Commons, feedback is very welcome.

Linux distro or Xen distro? edit
Qubes OS's FAQ states that it it not a "Linux distro" but more of a "Xen distro", should this be fixed in the article?
