Private Computing on Any PC with Tails via USB
The article introduces Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System), a Debian-based Linux distro you can boot from a USB drive to maximize privacy by routing all activity through the Tor network. It includes built-in apps like LibreOffice, GIMP, and Inkscape, and data isn’t saved by default unless you enable Persistent Storage. It also provides steps to get started: download Tails, create a bootable USB with Rufus (Windows) or Etcher (macOS), and boot from the USB on most computers (Apple Silicon Macs aren’t fully supported yet).
