We should start and maintain a UX and conceptual comparison of the SecureDrop Workstation versus a stock Qubes installation versus a non-Qubes system. For example:

Non-Qubes OS SecureDrop Workstation Stock Qubes OS
Once connected, a USB device is... immediately available immediately available to a quarantine VM (sd-devices) not available until manually connected to a VM

This column layout both assumes and suggests that the Workstation's conceptual model is mostly intermediate between the non-Qubes model and the stock-Qubes model. Right now, this is a hypothesis; it may or may not turn out to be a principle we codify and follow affirmatively. An immediate counterexample:

Non-Qubes OS SecureDrop Workstation Stock Qubes OS
Copied text can be pasted... anywhere anywhere, with an extra modal copy-paste operation, except to and from VMs tagged sd-workstation anywhere, with an extra modal copy-paste operation

Worth starting and adding to, probably opportunistically.
