Eli5 The Tails live system.

152 views

The last post I could find on this is from 8 years ago, and I’m sure a lot has changed since then.

Can someone explain exactly what this is and exactly what it does: insofar as an operating system, as a Tor network, how it utilizes hardware and software, etc?

Edit: is it better or worse to use from a Mac or Windows PC?

Tails is essentially a Debian Linux spin aimed at user privacy. Hardware is supported exactly the same as any other Debian distro. Where tails differed is the way it handles software and networks. Tails runs through the tor network and unlike most privacy distros it not only uses tor browser but all network activity uses the tor network.
