    Qubes has a hardware certification program, which is far better than anything offered by Microsoft or Apple.

    Also many people use Qubes because of the hardware protection provided by sys-usb isolation (microphone, camera, and block devices are all hardware)

      Interesting. I knew about their hardware compatibility list, but not their list of certified hardware list. Their list of requirements looks quite a bit different from those intended for a regular OS and is (unsurprisingly) tuned for Qubes, but considering that it’d make sense to mention them, particularly if the user intends to run that.
