      How could you encrypt the USB and still use it as a live disk? I thought to encrypt a drive we needed to use BitLocker via Windows to lock and unlock or FileVault on a macbook. Either way the disk would become unbootable if it was encrypted. I am assuming you know something that I don't So please explain how a person could encrypt a usb boot disk? I have live boots of Kali, ParrotOS, and Ubuntu Studios.

      Vista after Service Pack one (desktop widgets excluded due to massive security issues) was a fantastic operating system for systems designed for (not compatible with, they're different) it, offering fantastic performance and significantly increased security over a windows XP installation. Windows 7 aimed to fix the shortcomings of vista, being that it kind of felt like an overbearing nanny at times.

    Protecting User Privacy has never been a priority for Microsoft. For decades, they actively worked with law enforcement to help them mine data off of users PCs. The documents exposing this have been out on the internet for a long time...
    When a corporation says they "Value your privacy" it doesn't mean what you think it means. What they are actually saying is they see a value in violating your privacy. If you ACTUALLY READ a "privacy statement" you'll find it's simply a detailed explanation of all the ways they intend to violate your privacy. Not a list of all the measures they will take to protect it.

    The video is great, thank you.
    However I am baffled how this "privacy" thing is so common to hear.
    People: companies do not effectively save data to see what YOU personally do, they look at what a USER is doing. Most of it is Telemetric data, stuff like uptime, runnig applications, what when and why, but unless you commit crime nobody is really interested what you do. The money (payload) for them is not your personal life, the money for them are for mapping user habits and routines and performance data.
    Also, don't overrate your privacy because if you completely isolate yourself and follow "Snowden's advice" you pretty much will hate the internet, cuz you are not to login or register any accounts using these OSs, the connection will be painstakingly slow, forget javascript or any dynamic content, forget youtube, you can pretty much browse on old-modem like speeds. True, it will be private that is 100%, but keep in mind that your cellphone and your irl behaviour gives you away in a second, forget bankcards, forget cellphones, forget transfers.
    Real "privacy" is like when a bankrobber or a spy is hiding. You pretty much shoot yourself in the foot by wanting "so much" privacy.
    Be safe instead! Use a VPN, used a protected DNS, use protected Proxies, use a strong and known Password manager, like KeePass for offline, or BitWarden for online (open source stuff for transparency), register for ProtonMail for added security for emails. Create long passwords - better even, passphrases - at least 20 characters (I know 10-12 is the jam now but more never hurts, look up enthropy), password lock your computer and devices, refrain from biometric IDs or motives, encrypt them if you can, buy yourself an external authenticator key like Yubikey, and/or use mobile authenticator apps or devices.
    If you want to pay for extra safety at any of these services, I ran the numbers, expect about 50-100 $ upkeep for your privacy/ month! (VPN, ProtonMail, cloud storage, software licences, Proxy)
    Or just use free services from Google and enjoy your life. 99,99999% will never have any privacy issues anyway. Just keep your passwords safe and long (20 chars, always different everywhere and use a password manager) and use a VPN. That is already more than what most do.
    Otherwise the only thing you will ever experience of this "intrusion on your privacy" is targeted ads, which I love because why the hell would I want to buy diapers, when i am not interested and don't need any, I want to be shown stuff I actually might wanna buy.
    I know people who tell me they want control over their data, but fail to do even the first of the above. Annoying is what this is.
    Btw, I am working on becoming an IT security specialist, I did a lot of research on the topic, and I may not know everything, but I am not much wrong in what I said. I do the same, so far I never had any problems.

      .it sounded cool to me too, installed and it only to discover that is still Linux. As it was phrased, it looked like is an entirely new OS. the first ones was referred as Linux distributions, but Qubes and Tails, as new operating systems. But at scrutiny you can notice that in the list of components Qubes lists Fedora 10 Debian 32 and whonix. So is not a new OS, but a new linux distribution. And more at ua-cam.com/video/s8-B9d7iz1A/v-deo.html it mentions that.... apart from popular linux distributions like Fedora and Debian .... and this can be interpreted as admitting that is not a new OS, but an Linux distribution. I do not know if this is deliberate, or just conjecture, but this clip is deceiving. At least, deceived me.

    I think, this is a great vid. Yet in my opinion a linux distro which makes u comfortable with hardening it should be useful and secure. And if I wanna do some privacy stuffs go on an one-time use OS or a VM. To be safe and secure depends on what environment u are in, I think. Like in my country I don't have to use VPN to download stuffs from torrents. And If ya wanna perform some attacks and don't wanna get logged ur IP then never attack from home that's way more safer than Tor. 😁 What to use... that's the one depends on what environment u are in, what the situation says, how much can u do something before ya get spied, how do u interact with it and so on that's why I love about the four point process, when it comes to security.

    MacOS has had windows10 like data collection since 2018.
    Ubuntu has data collection as well, although not as extreme as the other 2, but it's definitely no longer an option for people who give half a shit about privacy.
    Tails is a great 'disposable' os, something to use when you want to do something and you want to ensure that nobody can track you down (it's not as simple as it sounds though, tails OS by itself isn't enough for this, it's just a good foundation to start from), but it is not viable as a daily driver.
    QubesOS unlike tails is viable for use as a daily driver, but it has some major downsides that may keep people off it; first off, due to it's nature of security through compartmentalization, and compartmentalization through virtualization, the OS is designed to run multiple virtual machines to compartmentalize your use, if used correctly it is possibly the most secure operating system in the world. The downside however is that it's very resource intensive, every VM is a drain on your CPU and RAM, so it requires a powerful CPU and a sizable amount of RAM to use effectively, also the VMs have no hardware accelerated video support, this means that watching videos in QubesOS is effectively not really an option, it's just not gonna work, naturally in the same vein, gaming is also not an option and a lot of professional tasks are unavailable as well.
    QubesOS is for the ultra-paranoid security extremists, it's too much for most users due to it's limitations, it's security without compromise, but unfortunately that lack of compromises also means that the user is not actually given a choice if they are willing to accept such compromises (like enabling hardware acceleration...) and makes it just not a feasible OS for anyone that's not doing extremely sensitive work. I could see something like this used internally by entities like military and spy agencies, but not even the most paranoid government office is likely to be willing to go this far (in fact most of them are not even willing to leave windows :| which is quite the disgrace)

      If you do anything embarrassing on the internet like watch naked women or something I don't see why you should be ashamed of that either. You're straight yes? People need to stop feeling so entitled when it comes to privacy, you're using other peoples services for free after all, such as youtube.

    "The operating systems most people use every day today aren't really geared towards privacy."
    No, because the OS development companies concerned don't want them to be, they need to access our locations and internet traffic for advertising and commercial marketing revenues, and the odd bit of snooping, it's been like this since the 1980s!!!

    GrapheneOS (heavily hardened android) has also been recommended by Snowden in the past for phone users, with the obvious caveat that it doesn't stop the inherently insecure nature of cell services.

    Tails *is* a Linux distribution. So, calling it a separate OS would be a stretch. Qubes is built on Linux, but of course, with its heavy use of virtualisation techniques, it is more distinct, so, calling it a separate OS might have some justification

      Windows 10 is built on the NT kernel so calling it a different OS from Windows XP is a stretch...
      Your entire line of reasoning is stupid, Linux is the kernel the OS is built on. Your probably running Linux on your phone, it's called Android. Go into "about phone" & it'll say the linux kernel version lol

    I'd like to find something fully featured but have the same kind of security as Tails and so on but look like Windows 7 minus the logo and the fact the icons would look different and so on. Does anyone have any good ideas of what to use, also this would be a great idea for someone interested in making their own OS.

      Parrot is cool, i use it more than kali, but it's not foolproof out of the box. Also, no matter what distro one uses, they are only as safe as we make them. Parrot, kali, qubes, and many others have great tools for privacy, but if you don't know how to use them, you're screwed. Also, anonsurf is awesome, I like how you can literally just click to change ip.

    Uh, last think I heard about Tor was that the various governments' agencies had become the chief purveyors of exit and entry points, meaning that they basically can, working together, find out a lot of stuff that Tor was supposed to shield.
