I’m curious if whonix actually provides any value rather than just running tor locally?

Like has there ever been a case when because tor was run locally on someones computer over using whonix for tor that they were compromised?

    Yeah it depends on your threat model but even if you have the right hardware, it would still be pretty hard if you are a newbie who say, has recently switched to Linux.

      Furthermore, Linux knowledge will only help you to an extent with Qubes. You should ideally also be familiar with Xen configuration and administration, a much more niche skillset.
