you shouldn't dual boot #qubesos with another os. it is a security risk. https://www.qubes-os.org/faq/#can-i-install-qubes-os-together-with-other-operating-system-dual-bootmulti-boot if you understand the risk and want to do it anyway read this first. https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/multibooting-qubes/18988 you can install windows on qubes with some caveats. read about it here https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/windows/windows-qubes-4-1/ https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/qubes-4-2-rc4-install-windows-tools-not-working/22192 personally i wouldn't. also, if you want qubesos to run well, max out your ram 16 GB min, pref 32 GB min, and get at least a 1tb ssd internal drive #cybersecgirl #qubesos #privacy #security nostr:nevent1qqsz3dva9dl20pj27qrlytywknwfvda7s95hr6f0la9n4s90qjeww4qpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyp5z2kx92g0l6g4frgfwy4kujzzfjlmukjc9cjv942d9ch4l5qglyqcyqqqqqqg5uxt3d
🎯 "One problem is that when you dual or multiboot, even if you are using encryption on your Qubes installation, /boot is still unprotected and could be maliciously modified by the other OS, possibly leading to Qubes itself being maliciously modified. The other problem is firmware security - for example the other system could infect the BIOS firmware, which might enable compromise or spying on the Qubes system. You can use Anti Evil Maid 26, which would inform you if /boot had been modified, but it cannot prevent or fix the problem."
it's an interesting project, but have concerns that it's a bit of a hack (albeit a cool one) that is not supported by tails or whonix. it could also introduce stability issues, bugs, and new vulnerabilities. i am however interested to see where it goes. have you used it? https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Declined

Seems like a neat idea for offline work requiring a particular OS, but if you provide network access to the VM it could undo many of TAILS privacy protections.
