>> WHY LINUX?

  • [SECURITY] Less malware, better permissions
  • [PRIVACY] No telemetry like Windows
  • [CONTROL] Full control over your system
  • [COMPATIBILITY] Tor, Tails, Whonix all Linux-based

>> RECOMMENDED DISTROS

[TAILS]

Best for anonymity. Amnesic, Tor-only. Boot from USB.

[WHONIX]

Best for persistent work. Two-VM isolation. Install anything.

[QUBES OS]

Ultimate security. Compartmentalization. For advanced users.

[DEBIAN/UBUNTU]

General use. Install Tor Browser. Good starting point.

>> HARDENING TIPS

  • [UPDATES] Keep system updated: sudo apt update && upgrade
  • [FIREWALL] Enable UFW: sudo ufw enable
  • [ENCRYPTION] Use full disk encryption (LUKS)
  • [USER] Don't use root for daily tasks
  • [LOGS] Consider disabling/clearing logs
