Initial Thoughts About Using Tails Linux as a Daily Driver

I'm a huge advocate of online privacy and I've always thought about using Tails linux as my daily operating system.

Tails is not really designed for daily use. If you DuckDuckGo using Tails as a daily driver you'll probably find dicussions saying that it should not or could not be done. Of course it can be done, but if you should depends on your needs and what you use your computer for.

My reason to use Tails is to avoid online tracking and profiling. I know Tails is overkill for that, but I think it works very well. It's liberating to know that everytime you boot up your computer and start browsing the web you start pretty much with a clean state.

I've been using Tails for a few weeks now (outside work) as my daily OS. I'll write a longer post about my experiences later on.
