does tails reset itself.... as in nothing can be saved on it after you shut it down [remove the USB stick]... so KeepassX is useless ?
>>53068418
keep the database in a separate drive then dummy.

can you elaborate on that... tails is looking very good after my research.
why would i give up my nice stable version of win7 for linux headaches and command line prompts.... left that stuff back with dos. Am i missing something between windows desktop vs linux desktop?

Freedom
>>53068418
You have the option to create an encrypted persistent volume on the USB stick through TAILS.
>>53071656
freedom from what? i have awesome proggys like fireworks and vlc and acidpro... i dont line command a thing just click on icon and boom there it is :/ I have open office as well as gimp... so what advantage or freedom does this give me?

it's fine if you don't mind having a flash drive plugged in all the time and no permanent files at all.

Tails is for using Tor in Starbucks on a non-descript netbook while wearing a hoodie and dark sunglasses. It is the best at what it does but it's not intended as a desktop OS.
>>53071759
You can configure the remaining space on the flash drive as an encrypted persistent storage partition to keep track of your keyring, cryptowallets, mail, bookmarks, wifi passwords, etc.
Windows 10 is literally the best OS. There is literally nothing wrong with it.
>>53071729
To be perfectly honest, if you're happy with Windows theres no real need to switch.

>>53073936
Is Gateway still around? Haven't really heard anything about them since the late 90s. Haven't thought about them either.
>>53074064
Tails is an excuse for the NSA to put you on a list and track you, wetter you keep using it or not. Use Qubes OS.
>>53074077
Gateway is just a brand of Acer, like eMachines were.
>>53074097

honestly nothing to hide just afraid of all that meta data shit and bullshit corolations that they try to make something like "Ross' story" AKA DPR.

If you are just starting out Linux I advice don't go with specialized distros, and certainly don't come to /g/ expecting advice. They are not just trolls, by the JTRIG documents leaked by Snowden we know that places like 4chan are a cauldron for potential undercover agents, for real.
Go to the friendly linux thread, lurk for a time, ask questions, then go with the easy distros if you are new (Lubuntu/Xubuntu/Mint).
>>53074002
>So, does this means the NSA is willing to defame
kek look up COINTELPRO and JTRIG. This is standard procedure for governments.
>>53074097
Tails and Qubes are undoubtedly flags on their monitoring system, whichever code name it is going by these days.
>>53074130
Qubes is great. I use it myself. Qubes+Whonix is god-tier. Whonix forces all of your data through the Tor network, which prevents even your workspace computer from knowing your real IP or MAC address. What brought Ross down was poor OPSEC though. The human element of security will always be the weakest.
>interface simplicity
Arch. Can't get much simpler than letters
>>53074119
Back in the 90s they were pretty huge for a while. Right alongside Dell. Seems like everyone I knew who had a PC, had one of those two brands.
>>53074179
i have been reading for the last fucking 9 hours, as soon as i came back from my college course.
And i was unable to download Tails.
the NSA will only follow you when they have something that leads to you...
But there are thousands of people using Tor or tails... does that mean that NSA "triangulates" every bodies location ? NO... unless they have a lead on him/her.
There is no 100% anonymity on the internet without a doubt but i don't want to be another statistic... or guy they just blame because he hung out on /pol/ to learn about fascism...
>>53074191
does Quebes also have the tor interface like Tails ? or are you just trolling ?
>>53074254
Is far too easy to be on a list, shouldn't need to tell you that.
Do what you want.
>>53074291
im gunna lose my mind trying to doenload this piece of shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/its almost fucking 10 hours and i cant get this shit on a fucking usb to RUNNNNNNNNN
>>53074268
Qubes is better than Tails, IMHO. The only thing that Tails has over Qubes is that Tails doesn't save your history by default and it is portable.
If you are looking for a distro for your main computer, Qubes is in a league of it's own. It allows you to compartmentalize all of your activity, so that an email attachment doesn't also leak your bank records for example. Or your tetris game won't be able to take a screenshot of your PGP keys.
It has a Whonix template installed by default. Whonix is far and away the best OS for using Tor. It creates two VMs, a gateway and a workspace. The gateway knows your IP and MAC address, but forces all network traffic through the Tor network. The workspace VM is blind, it can't access your IP or MAC address. So even if someone were to hack your Whonix VM, they couldn't get your real ID (so long as you don't log into gmail or facebook, etc).
On top of this, it has a built in firewall, allows you to create VMs that have no network interface, which is a great place to host your password manager and PGP keys. Also it has secure copy, and runs all firmware on a seperate VM. There really is too much to post about it.
The only downside is the lack of hardware support thusfar. Check out the HCL guide to see if your computer is compatible. If it isn't listed, download the live USB version and test it out yourself.
>>53074331
What are you getting hung up on? You need two USBs to install Tails 2.0 properly.
Reminder that NSA blacklists innocent people just this easy

Which OS and program are you using to write it to the USB.
>>53074854
this the problem!!!!!!!!1
>>53075167
If the ISO downloaded all the way then it is an error in how you are copying the ISO to the USB. Which program are you using to burn it? You know that you can't simply drag the file to the USB, you have to use a special program to burn it to the USB. If you're using Windows, download a program called "unetbootin" and use that to burn it.
>>53075300
might be dumb but not that dumb... to drag and drop...

>>53075377
It's something simple. Just relax.
Redownload the ISO tonight. Download rufus (>>53075455 sorry, I don't use Windows much, unetbootin was the first thing that popped into my head) in the morning. And try again. There might have been a download error.

Tails is a designed for users with privacy concerns. Not really meant for newbies, you'd probably miss the whole point of using Tails anyway if you try to use it as your primary distro

They have a tutorial on the tails website.
>>53075800
i run into this problem when i follow the tutorial...
>>53075167
>>53075680
Where the fuck do you start on that thing?
I'm already /comfy/ but i'd like to see what my "ideal" distro is.
>>53075813
If you use Firefox they have a plugin to verify the iso for you. It's also easy to verify through a torrent. How did you download it?
>>53075829
The big red one ya dingus
>>53075629
I think you should try and re-download the ISO. There is a problem with its integrity.
Consider it a lesson learned. This won't be the last time you spent countless hours troubleshooting, only to find it was a simple error.
>>53075846
first tried using firefox and ran into that problem i posted an hour ago.... now doing it via direct download and command prompt verification method....
>>53075670
>Tails
>not really meant for newbies
wut? I could see someone making that argument about Whonix, but Tails is literally plug and play with plenty of documentation.
>>53075880
top fucking kek i have downloaded that file atleast 5 times today on two laptops.... i think ive done it all... but i think it has something to do with my bios security being enabled...
Linux Mint
everything else is objectively incorrect
>>53075895
Pro-tip: to avoid the two USB requirement to install Tails again, just image the USB with the full install on it.
>>53075931
why???
>>53075914
Newfags will go browse facebook within a few hours. There is no point in using a privacy oriented distro for daily use

If you are maintaining this chart, please get rid of these memes and make one that looks somewhat professional
I can't speak for the BIOS, I only use Libreboot. It would seem that if you can change the boot order, then you should have sufficient privileges to run from a USB. Perhaps someone else can help. Maybe its a problem with UEFI. Have you tried it on a different computer?
>>53075959
I give Tails USB drives to family members and friends on fairly frequently. This method saves me having to burn the ISO, then log into Tails just to use this install of Tails to install the full version on a different USB. It cuts about 10 minutes off the process.
>>53075966
There is an "Unsecure Browser" to use for Facebook, gmail, etc. This won't compromise your privacy at all. Users are warned of this on the Tails page.
In any case, using Tor will eliminate 99% of corporate and government mass surveillance, which is what most users are concerned about.
>>53076110
well then, i suppose i could do something like that.
I'm not really maintaining it, But i'd be glad to make some edit's with gimp.
>>53076248

It's pretty simple really. Around here if you like something that one of the many 12 year olds or NEETs don't like, they call it a meme, and/or a botnet and say that you fell for it, and that you are a cuck because of it.
It's good to keep in mind that an alarmingly high number of the dipshits who hang around here don't have a single goddamn clue what they are talking about.
