Qubes OS Live?

[Niely Boyken]

Hi

This page [https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/live-usb/] says that Qubes OS Live is still in Beta-version.

I'm wondering if this is than safe to use. Will I have the same security-benefits if I use the Live-version than when I use the normal version?

If no,

would it be possible to install it on an USB and not on the default harddrive?

And when does it quit the beta?

I think a Live-option would be a good thing this OS needs.

Thanks!

The Live USB version is based on an older version of Qubes, and it is
not currently being maintained or developed.

It would be safer to use a more recent, supported version like 3.1 or
3.2.

Yes, it's possible to install any version of Qubes on a removable USB
drive while preserving the data on your default hard drive.

Since the Live USB version is no longer under development, I'm afraid
we have no ETA for this.
