What is Tails?
The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a 
Debian 9 based live CD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The product ships with several Internet applications, including web browser, IRC client, mail client and instant messenger, all pre-configured with security in mind and with all traffic anonymised. To achieve this, Incognito uses the 
Tor network to make Internet traffic very hard to trace.
Priorities for the next years:
ADOPTION Improve installation instructions Give some love: Fix unsupported Wi-Fi cards. Explain better what Tails is and what makes it so awesome. Tails for blind users
RESISTANCE TO REMOTE EXPLOITATIONS: HTTPS only mirrors for protection Critical parts of Tails audited
COMMUNITY GROWTH, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION Create outreach especially to under-represented Recruit new workers and Lower technical requirements for them so we can get more people involved
APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES Screen locker. [DONE] Tails Server: run onion services fron tails! :-) Support GUI's to mount VeraCrypt volumes GUI for the Additional Packages persistent feature: Easily add software to Tails. Mobile msg applications: investigate if we could support Signal, Firechat etc. Provide a GUI for backups
SUSTAINABILITY OF CORE CODE Basing Tails on rolling snapshots of Debian Priority for core code than polishes Port complex shells to Python Robust GMT time snyc
USER RESEARCH Perform surveys. Find more people to describe our users Power our help desk with a tracker
FUNDING FROM PRIVATE PARTNERS Strenghten our relationships with existing ones. Contact more potential ones. Document better benefits for partners
INFRASTRUCTURE MIGRATIONS Update our infrastructure to: Have a better server infrastructure to handle our growing Self-host our website as boum.org won't be hosting anymore

Tails is an amazing tool for those who wish to remain anonymous. The fact that journalists and whistle-blowers have used and recommended it should speak to its security. If you need complete anonymity, Tails is just a download away! Even better, it's based on Debian!
Doesnt save Data that you dont especially choose to save, can run on infected hardware, channels every traffic through TOR, uses encryption by default.
Poorly only GNOME and no other interface.
