Tails staat voor 'The amnesic incognito live system' en is een live Linux-distributie die zich richt op privacy en anonimiteit. Als basis maakt het gebruik van Debian GNU/Linux en het voegt daaraan een Gnome-omgeving met onder meer Tor, Tor Browser, Pidgin, Thunderbird, Electrum, LibreOffice, GPG en KeePassXC toe. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we naar deze pagina. Versie 7 is op Debian 13 gebaseerd en heeft Gnome 48 als desktopomgeving. De belangrijkste veranderingen die in versie 7.0 zijn aangebracht zijn hieronder voor je op een rijtje gezet.
Faster startupTails 7.0 starts 10–15 seconds faster on most computers. We achieve this by changing the compression algorithm of the Tails USB and ISO images from
Included softwarexztozstd. As a consequence, the image is 10% bigger than it would be with the previous algorithm. While testing this change, we noticed that Tails on USB sticks of poor quality can also start 20 seconds slower than on quality USB sticks. If you are in a place where counterfeit electronics are common, we recommend that you buy your USB stick from an international supermarket chain, which should have a more reliable supply chain.Changes in GNOME
