How to choose
Privacy-oriented distributions reduce particular forms of tracking or data exposure, but no operating system provides anonymity by itself. Review the project threat model, network routing, persistence behaviour, update process and hardware assumptions. Operational habits, accounts and browser activity can still identify a user.
Download only from the project or an official mirror and check the SHA-256 checksum before installing. Verify a checksum · Compare distributions
