if u r still using windows for ur 'work', u r doing it wrong. i've been running a hardened Qubes OS setup for the last 2 years and it's the only way to be truly safe.
my setup:
- separate VMs for every identity.
- all traffic routed through a dedicated Whonix Gateway.
- no persistent storage for browser VMs.
- custom scripts to wipe clipboard and temp files every 5 mins.
it's a bit slow but the security is unbeatable. even if one VM gets compromised, the attacker is trapped in a sandbox.
wat are u guys using for ur daily driver? anyone tried GrapheneOS for mobile yet?
