I installed tails on your USB drive and it functions properly on your laptop. However, when you attempt to run it on your desktop, you notice loading prompts appear in the lower corner of the screen, along with error messages and a status indicating "{drdy}". This behavior isn't typical for your laptop. It seems the issue might be related to how the system recognizes the USB installation or a compatibility problem with your desktop environment. You may have disabled secure boot by removing the PIN key, which could affect how the system verifies the installation. Try reinstalling tails from a clean USB drive or checking if your desktop software supports the necessary drivers.

Legacy mode is available. The latest reports suggest UEFI isn't supported yet. I wasn't aware many were still using Tails.

I was just experimenting with it. I’ve only used Windows before, so I’m exploring every Linux version that looks interesting.

Avoid beginning with the distribution pedos use. It’s aimed at political and journalism professionals who value privacy. Start with the top three: Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian.

Tried Ubuntu before, but the portable version feels secure and private—it’s pretty impressive. By the way, I didn’t install it on my card so I’m giving up; it doesn’t seem to offer any real advantage for me as you mentioned.

The US department of defence released a portable cd for its personnel that doesn’t leave any digital footprint and works with identity card systems. It’s named Lightweight Portable Linux. The website security key appears invalid since it’s a military certificate, not a public one. If you grant access, you’ll reach the site. http://www.spi.dod.mil/lipose.htm I’m not using it because it includes Adobe Flash. It’s worth noting it originates from the US government, which lends some credibility for privacy protection against foreign tracking. We’re unclear about their tracking methods, but if you’re part of the Five Eyes alliance, they might still monitor you. Beyond the US, it doesn’t surpass Fedora or Ubuntu live CD options. Real anonymity usually requires a VPN that isn’t tied to your credit or bank details and is hosted in a sovereign nation that opposes surveillance from your country’s agencies. Tails is handy in public places like cafés or libraries where you pay with cash. It uses Tor, which has been compromised extensively; the FBI and NSA treat it as suspicious due to the trail it leaves. As they say, when you’re at the beach, leave only your footprints—true privacy demands paying with cash and leaving minimal digital traces, like just cat photos. The Five Eyes have a lot of cat images to sift through if they wish to waste time chasing you.

It seems the current trend of spies browsing cat images is quite amusing.
