I'm done with this community. Too many feds here spamming low quality posts. Very little value in this community.

    QubesOS can be built from source code but none of the linux distros can.

      If you think its wrong then show it. Show where I can get the source code and build instructions to build my own debian image.

    OP is wrong about firmware. linux-firmware package is not about mitigating firmware vulnerabilities. It's just blobs for things like nvidia and other stuff. I don't know if Linux has firmware vulnerability mitigation but if it doesn't then QubesOS is much better because it does prevent a lot of the vulnerabilities by disabling hyperthreading.

      CPU vulnerability mitigations would typically be distributed with the intel-microcode package for Intel processors on Debian-based distributions, for example.

    Qubes os is on a whole different level when it comes to security, its not equal to other distors at all. Even Chrome os (guest acc only) is better than most of the big distros.
