“Kali is pretty cool but overkill for most uses.”

The part we’re leaving out for some reason is that they were built for specific uses, not as a daily driver.

Tor Browser is to LibreWolf as Tails is to…?

Community, I’m really asking here.

Basically any Linux distro within reason and with a few exceptions. I think some beginner / gaming distros add dumb crap. I like OpenSUSE but use whatever floats your boat.

Tails is a specific use distro, the idea is that with it you can access Tor and other services while leaving minimal traces behind.
Their homepage highlights activists, journalists and even domestic abuse victims using it to avoid censorship/surveillance and access the internet safely in unsafe places.

I disagree as what looks more suspicious, a computer with tor on it or a computer that has nothing on it because tor is on your flash drive?

I didn’t say it looked more suspicious. I said it was overkill.
