Duration: 90 min

Type: Workshop

Speakers: William Robinet

Abstract

I’ve been using Qubes OS in my professional life since 2017 (version 3.2).
With this workshop, I want to share my experience working daily with it, then initiate an exchange around the various topics involved, including security benefits and technical difficulties.

Description

When presenting at conferences, there is always someone who notices that I’m running Qubes OS on the laptop I use for presentations.
From that point, the subject of my talk or workshop is set aside and the rest of the discussion shifts around my usage of Qubes OS.
Let’s use this workshop as an opportunity to talk about Qubes OS. You can bring your own Qubes OS setup, and we’ll share our respective tips & tricks.

After a quick intro, I’ll share some tips & tricks I use and I’ll talk about some issues I’m still facing.

Hi there!

This workshop is open to anyone interested in Qubes OS. Earlier today, I discussed with a few people ready to jump on it for daily usage. Few questions already arise. Is it really usable ? Isn’t it a waste of time ? How long does it take to get used to it ?

I’ll show you how it works, how I use it and what it has to offer, you’ll make up your own mind, feel free to join.

See you tomorrow afternoon 16h30 in Hollenfels!
