Its a small thing, but whoever wrote the whonix wikipedia page neglected to mention the other hypervisors it supports besides VirtualBox, also it should mention that Whonix can technically support all the hardware architectures Debian can if compiled for them.
I would have edited the page myself, but in Wikipedia doesn’t deal with anonymous editors.
“On startup, each VM runs a check to ensure that the software is up to date, and that the date and time are set correctly.”
time is not exactly set correctly
“The Web browser preinstalled in the Workstation VM”
Not anymore
“It is possible for users to force the Workstation to be partly or wholly amnesic by manually resetting it to old states after use, although the developer does not suggest this”
This is a list of operating systems specifically focused on security. General-purpose operating systems may be secure in practice, without being specifically “security-focused”.
Looking further down the page Whonix is the only OS listed as an General-purpose operating systems. This might lead peopele to believe Whonix is not secure?
As per Wikipedia’s policy it is crucially important:
that Wikipedia isn’t edited by people affiliated with the Whonix project. Only independent people are allowed to edit Wikipedia. This is of course a generic rule and unspecific to Whonix.
that other Wikipedia rules are adhered.
Doing otherwise could do more harm than good.
Therefore I think it’s best for Whonix to stay out of the discussion and lock this forum thread.
I guess I could at least post my opinions here and might consider if there’s need for it.
But generally Whonix must avoid providing any kind of guidance.
This might not sound as welcoming as I wish but that’s due to the circumstances.
