After almost 2 years, Privacy Guides has added a new Hardware Recommendations section to their website.

Thanks to Daniel Nathan Gray and others for implementing this new hardware guide

Its pretty glaring that the word “Qubes” doesn’t appear anywhere on this page, yet “Windows” and “macOS” do

It’s a guide to hardware that lists the different hardware security programs, which Windows and macOS have. QubesOS however is purely software, sho why would it be mentioned? It’s listed in plenty of more appropiate places and is actually recommended as an operating system opposed to Windows and macOS.

Qubes has a hardware certification program, which is far better than anything offered by Microsoft or Apple.

Also many people use Qubes because of the hardware protection provided by sys-usb isolation (microphone, camera, and block devices are all hardware)

Interesting. I knew about their hardware compatibility list, but not their list of certified hardware list. Their list of requirements looks quite a bit different from those intended for a regular OS and is (unsurprisingly) tuned for Qubes, but considering that it’d make sense to mention them, particularly if the user intends to run that.

Now they’re promoting “just trust me bro” hardware too.
