If you really really care about security, then consider CHERI and CheriBSD

Qubes OS uses the Linux kernel. Without wanting to start a flame-war and with all respect to Linux, it’s not even close. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD_security_features

I was looking at that thread and honest question: how does Qubes OS deal with the binary blob issue? I would guess it is deblobbed to a certain extend according to [0]

But I couldn't find if they have a strict "no binary blob allowed" policy like OpenBSD.
