this document will describe my Qubes Setup and what I did to improve the Qubes experience so that Qubes will become my daily main operating system
About Me
--------
I am working for a Berlin based IT Solution Provider. Main topics datacenter infrastructure (Cisco/NetApp/Vmware/Microsoft).
Working with Linux and even more with Qubes adds some complexity, as several internal workflows but also customer projects are mainly relying on windows software and operating systems.
Using Qubes has been a decision as I want to prove that another world is possible and because I want to keep my data as much secure as possible.
Additionally I Qubes offers protection when working with one device in several customer environments.
My Hardware
-----------
I am using three devices, depending on what I need to do.
My main device which I use ~80% of time is the X230 Core i7 which has a 2nd Slice battery, giving me more than 8h of battery runtime.
