Thanks for @micahflee for creating this video.

If you have any interest in Qubes OS, this is the video to watch. It's really interesting, and it was the video that got me to use it on my work laptop.

The benefits of Qubes is not just security. I find it to be extremely nice to be able to arbitrarily install software for testing purposes without having it mess up my configuration. I usually test software in a disposable VM and if there is a problem I can just restart and be back to a clean state.
