🔒Why is Qubes OS safer?

Qubes has a structure that allows you to divide the different parts of your digital life into isolated sections (virtual machines) called “qubes”.

For example; You have made a small mistake in your computer that you are working with, and you are doing your own personal activities at home, with the same computer that you use at work. So the damage done to you at work doubles. You can probably use two computers to prevent this. This is where the operating system Qubes comes into play. Various virtual machines help you to differentiate your work and private life through various security measures.
