  • Follow-up question: is the use case for Tails still relevant? The main premise is that public computers might be bugged, and so you can plug this in and be less worried about it. However, public computers aren’t really a thing anymore, and the ones that are left might have secure boot or other BIOS security that might prevent booting from USB.

    Also, I am puzzled as to why they picked GNOME, which is a resource hogger. Don’t these public computers have little RAM? I’d assume that 4 GB is already generous.










  • I don’t care one bit about upgradability or customizability. After a year or two, I’m happy to throw it out and buy a new one. It’s not like upgradability is a bad thing, but it usually comes with tradeoffs to weight and power draw, and I’d rather it all be in one solid package glued together. And I don’t like customizability because I like when all the testing and polish work is put into one configuration.

    Yeah, he lost me in this paragraph.
