Good morning Everyone,

I am looking into the forum, and lots of online materials but I cannot find a manual explaining what are all virtual machines there for, how to use them, and basically how to start using the system (including cli).

The ones found are not structured, outdated or very technical.

Could you, please post some links to help out to start with the OS.

Thank you,

Best,

Asen

I think you'd be best served going onto youtube and searching for Qubes
demos and overview presentations/talks.

Seriously man, use google. You won't get spoonfed by the Linux community that much. But I will help out.

Micah Lee gives a great overview: https://www.qubes-os.org/video-tours/ Sit down, have you pc with qubes in front of you and follow what he says and does. This is a good video.

This one is not too bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbN5Bz3v-uA

There are lots of others. Just get your qubes and muck around with it. If you are not familiar with linux in general you are on a steep learning curve, but enjoy it.

But just don't ask for people to do the work you should do. Make the effort, and then if you get stuck people will be more than helpful. But not by asking for them to search google for you.

I would start by watching this one:

It is less than six months old by now.
And this one is also interesting:

Best regards or as we say here in Germany: Liebe Grüße, Peter Funk
