I want a Tails-like LiveUSB OS like tails, but without the tor reliance. Does anyone have a suggestion? Heads is dead, last release 2018, but it resembles what I am looking for.

    Given the TOR part is kinda the point of tails you may wish to expand on what exactly a “tails like live os without tor” looks like.

    The standard Mint iso will boot into a live session with no persistence, click on network icon to join tge wifi and away you go. You can setup a script to install stuff that isnt on the stock build (pretty sure firefox is there but a vpn config for example).

    Without a use case description that sounds like what you’re asking for.

    I’m sure the other distros that offer live usbs will be the same.

      I would like an already hardened environment from boot. That includes the kernel hardening and browser hardening that Tor has.

      I get what you’re saying, a live USB does 80% of that with a bit more work, but I would still like to find a solution to this out there.

      If there isn’t one, I’m ready to accept that and come up with my own solution.
