  Qubes OS currently does something very similar with dmenu/rofi and launching programs in various qubes/VMs using i3-dmenu-desktop and autogenerated .desktop files in $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/ (which should provide usable example Python code for coming up with your own setup). - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

  I'm using VMs for everything. Disposable, self-destructing VMs for untrusted browsing.

Archive VM (with no networking) for storing important files. Banking VM for managing bank accounts. Zoom VM for isolating Zoom from the rest of my system. All this works... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
