I think this LGTM at a glance, but I do want to go through this later tonight and update some of the wording to make it more stylistically similar to the rest of the website (we shouldn't use words like 'users,' etc. I'm not sure if we have style guidelines actually published anywhere). Also, if this is complete could you update the checklist on the original issue? :)
Moved some things around. I think we could have a better summary of Qubes for beginners than this offers, but this LGTM for now and we can tackle rewording the initial overview in a future PR.
Works for me. I was pretty sure the final commits would be for organization anyways, feel free to send it.
The writing style here feels off compared to the rest of the website. I wouldn't merge this PR as-is. This is very much an "intro to Qubes" addition, which we do need as we currently don't say anything on the OS, but I do want us to eventually add more advanced sections that dive deeper into what Qubes can achieve.
Furthermore, just to be on the safe side, can someone confirm that we are allowed to use the graphic from the Qubes OS website? (https://privacyguides-privacyguides-org-preview-pr-1568.surge.sh/assets/img/qubes/structure.png)
~~Gonna take a look...~~ Fixed

@jonaharagon
Make sure the changes I made in https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/commit/7a3f70459ed644e6817d3fe9ac97bb25da88b986 make sense. I think the standalone Qubes page doesn't make sense in our recommendations section, so I've combined the Linux and Qubes pages into a single "Desktop/PC" recommendation page.
Not sure if this makes a lot of sense. It says "Desktop/PC" but has Tux as the icon, and the page starts talking about Linux distributions right away and then lists Qubes, which isn't really a Linux distribution. I'm not 100% opposed to combining the two pages or have a general desktop OS page, but it would need a serious refactoring of the Linux page which I think is out of scope for this PR.
I would leave the Qubes page in Recommendations as it was for now so that we can add the additional information about Qubes, and then decide whether we want to reorganize the content.
I propose moving Qubes OS to a new section like Security Focused Distributions. There's an anonymity focused section already:
It says "Desktop/PC" but has Tux as the icon, and the page
Ask @jonaharagon. I did not change the icons for this page.
BUT, I can say it makes sense having this title, since you only recommend Linux Desktop OS on the website, and those are all Linux distributions suited for use on desktop which are listed in the cards.
