Software-update: Qubes OS 4.3.0

Versie 4.3.0 van Qubes OS uitgebracht. Qubes OS is een op privacy en beveiliging georiënteerd besturingssysteem. Het maakt gebruik van security by isolation, wat inhoudt dat de verschillende onderdelen van het OS in aparte VM's draaien. In tegenstelling tot bijvoorbeeld VMware Workstation en Virtualbox is er geen host-OS, maar draaien de VM's direct op de aanwezige hardware. De virtualisatie wordt door bare-metal hypervisor Xen verzorgd en voor de gebruikersomgeving kan onder meer worden gekozen uit Fedora, Debian, Whonix en Windows. Meer informatie over Qubes OS kan op deze pagina worden gevonden. De releasenotes voor deze uitgave kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
