You already use #I2P? Great! But did you ever wished to have a separate gateway VM such as in #Whonix?
Works on #Qubes and #KVM:

Easy sys-i2p

There have been several attempts made to create an i2p-gateway, none of which I liked. Of course you still can run any i2p router without a gateway, but for further hardening I propose: 1. Clone or install a Fedora-XX Template with i2p Beginners should clone a Fedora-44 template, if you are an advanced user, use a minimal template. We will name it i2pd-gateway-f44. Then install an i2p router. In this tutorial we will use i2pd because it’s the quickest. sudo dnf copr enable supervillain/i2pd ...

I removed all #whonix #Qubes, all now seems well.

I love #Qubes, it is my desktop of choice. It's just #whonix updates never work. Now I'm trying to update dom0, the whonix updates just hang.

Modern hardware with the latest kernel is advised for operators of the current and maintained #QubesOS version 4.3.
The features of the system are nearly the same as the previous generations. One interesting innovation is the possibility to change
VM Persistent/User modes in Qubes Manager when updating or configuring

#Whonix is a pretty good OS, the only thing I don't like is that when I run it through #qemu/#kvm, with virt-manager, it feels like a remote desktop over wifi. Probably a hardware issue (as in my pc isnt that great).

I was going to have a little side quest and try Whonix, which is known to be a privacy focused distro that can be run in VirtualBox. However, I ran into trouble, that can be fixed by reading some documentation (it was related to adding additional kernel components). However, I'll do that later on because learning should be my priority. Before focus solidifies, I often need these little diversions to get my brain locked in.

Entropy Quality

I am trying to confirm that it is safe to generate very high-importance private keys in Qubes Whonix. I’ve read every Wiki post and GitHub issue that Qubes/Whonix have on this topic (excellent work there Patrick) and I am close to being confident enough, but I want to be certain of a few more things. I think the main sources of credited entropy are the kernel’s in-built “Linus Jitter Dance” [1][2], haveged and jitterentropy-rngd. There’s also some uncredited entropy from dom0’s getrandom(0) [3]...

#whonix version 18 is broken for me with virtualbox.
Can't set the right keyboard layout - there is an entry complaining about that for ch_fr or fr_ch in the forum - and copy/paste on Virtualbox does no longer work.
I'll remove Whonix 17 but I don't understand why the latest and greatest #wayland was chosen but is not really usable.
Obviously, there will be no solution in the foreseeable future for virtualbox and depending on it was a mistake !
