    So if e.g. you chose No Persistence (for maximum security of your antiX) then after running system updates and other changes you want to keep, you just run Remaster from the Control Center to permanently burn such updates and changes into antiX Frugal instance.

    Olsztyn, this is probably, the most suitable for me and best setup for security. Thanks for taking all the pains to share your knowledge.

    Now I will do this.

    I will do a no-persistence-frugal install of Antix-base on a HD partition, then update, upgrade and customize it. To further harden the system to make it secure DURING a session, I will make the “vital parts of OS” read-only. And then I will edit the /etc/sudoers file to restrict the abilities of all other users/applications. I will also install firejail.

    Then, I will install VirtualBox in it. Next, I will create a no-persistence-frugal-Antix-core VM on the VirtualBox. And in that Antix-core VM, I will install GSconnect. Then connect it to the KDEconnect on my Android phone. There too, to further harden the VM system to make it secure during a session, I will make the “vital parts of VM OS” read-only. And then I will edit the /etc/sudoers file of the VM to restrict the abilities of all other users/applications. And then I will remaster Antix-core VM. I will start the VB in firejail, to isolate the VM.

    Though all the above description seems complex it is just a simple “Antix-VB-Antix” non-persistant-frugal-secured setup.

    Will this be feasible? I am thinking of putting this to test, …hoping for it to work.

    And just to clarify, I am not one of antiX team. I am just an average user.

    I thought so, but you are not an average user, you are an expert user… you have got yourself acquainted with so much of Antix.

    Edit: Edited after properly understanding the frugal install inside a running install.
