When I install software, I'd prefer to have a secure delivery mechanism. Qubes OS uses a relatively robust system. A master signing key is kept on a “dedicated, air-gapped "vault" machine”. This key certifies dedicated keys for each major release.

Sadly, I don't have a good way to verify the Qubes master signing key. Instead, I tried downloading the Qubes key packet from various different network endpoints, and over a bunch of different Tor circuits. I asked some friends to try the same thing. We all got the same results.

# A script to increase the amount of swap space available in VMs running
# Qubes' default kernel. VMs running non-default kernels will be allocated
# volatile images which are un-necessarily large, but will otherwise run fine.

# Why not increase the swap allocated for all kernels? If something goes
# horribly wrong, it would be nice to be able to use an older kernel version
# temporarily while fixing whatever went wrong.
