If you want security then use Tails.

Just found super secure Tails runs live from DVD or USB does not install and is only 1.1 GB.

It has a reasonable desktop including manual on the desktop. Main feature is the Tor Dark Web Browser that browses the usual web and the Dark web .onion sites.

I think it is so secure that the Thunderbird Mail on its Desktop does not work as it says the password is wrong every time when it is not wrong.

I'd think that many on this site have an opinion of these types of distro's. Part of my issue is the distro is made by hackers so saying it is secure seems to worry me. The fact that it isn't current worries me.

The latest release is only 36 days old.
Scratch that, the latest is 12 days old.

oh, there's nothing wrong with tails.

i'd just like to point out that it uses the "Tor Web Browser", and not the "Tor Dark Web Browser". that is likely a colourful (pun intended) addition made by OP.

Good point.

I like the additional adjective, lets one know what it is about.

Still can't get a 32 bit version of Tails though.

Google does not help as their 32 bit version goes to the Tails site and loads the 64 bit version.

I bought a stick from a man on Amazon allegedly a 32 bit version.
It turned out to be a 64 bit version so he must have been fooled by Google.
Charged £11 for it too, asked for my money back no luck yet.

Any one know where can I get a 32 bit version?

no, that's not true.

Yes, you are right but usually I use it I qualify it with browsing the normal web and the dark web .onion sites.

Suggestions for a shorter definition as Tor web browser does not hack it.
