Qubes OS is good at being secure, but bad at UX - that's the common knowledge. However, I would like to argue that bad UX can actually be bad security, and that bad design decisions are not just annoying, but can be actively detrimental to the security of the system.

Qubes OS device use flow leaves much to be desired - from confusing USB storage to eternal woes of connecting camera and microphone at the same time to the correct qube, it's all not quite as smooth as we would like. I am currently working on improving this situation with a more cohesive device UX for Qubes.
