Used #Qubes OS for real for the first time today.
I needed to update the WiFi settings for my Withings scale, but the Linux binary they release for this has to be run as root. In the past I’ve booted into TailsOS for this kind of thing, but today used my Qubes to isolate the binary.
Went well! Had to learn how to move files between Qubes, but it wasn’t too bad.
