Copyvio?

There's a lot of what appears to be WP:Copyvio pasted from the Invisible Things website, and Distrowatch. Not sure which came first, but both are copyrighted. Altered Walter (talk) 12:29, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Primary Sources

Of the 10 references cited 7 are from either the developer's blog or Qubes official web page.

Its my perspective that this is a notable OS an warrants an article in WP, but it does need better references than currently offered --SimonBramfitt (talk) 04:36, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update logo

I don't have privileges to upload an image to wikipedia, please update the logo from the website:

Thanks! CreakCask (talk) 22:25, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @CreakCask:. Maybe it's my color-blindness, but I can't tell the different between the linked logo and the one in the article. --Michael Reed (talk) 23:55, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsensical sentence

As of [1], there's a sentence that says:

Qubes targets the desktop market. This market is dominated by laptops ...

Update screenshot

Can we please get an updated screenshot of Qubes running Xfce? I know it is hard to take a screenshot and get it out of dom0 -- but that is a very ugly shot of Xfce. We need a screenshot of more of the default desktop look, where the text is not blown up massively as well a smaller bar at the top and not a ridiculous amount of desktop icons. Moreover, it would look nice if the screenshot had a few windows open from a few different qubes and the mouse hovering over the xfce drop down menu to show all the available qubes as well as the mouse clicking on a single qube on the menu to show all the available applications from a qube.
