Qubes 4.0.2

Don’t let the relatively small version fool you; the Qubes project has been putting out releases for almost a decade. In that period, Qubes has established itself as arguably the most popular security-centric distribution, thanks mainly to its unique approach of isolating the essential elements that constitute an operating system inside different virtual machines.

Essentially, Qubes divides an installation into a series of virtual domains called qubes. An individual instance of an in one to visit untrusted websites and another instance of the browser in a different qube to transact online. A malware-ridden website in the untrusted qube will not affect the banking session.
