In 2019, we are especially proud of celebrating with you the 10 years of Tails.
The first release of Tails, back then amnesia, was announced in 2009. Since then we released 98 versions of Tails, which were used more than 25 million times.
Tails is a Linux distribution. It has drawn upon several distributions that came before it including: Knoppix, ELE, Anonym.OS, Incognito, and Amnesia. It includes a full set of applications that are pre-configured to go through Tor.
Basically, if you want to use the internet and are looking for a distribution that leaves as little of a trace as possible of where you are going and where you came from, Tails would be an excellent choice. If you are looking for a recommendation, it was used by: Edward Snowden and journalists Laura Poitras, Glenn Greenwald, and Micah Lee for the discussion, preparation, and distribution of the leaked NSA documents.

Snowden got caught.

I'm pretty sure Snowden expected to get caught by the NSA's logs of internal activity. So he preempted the investigation, skedaddled, and revealed his identity on his own terms.
By the time of Reality Winner [wikipedia.org], those internal systems would have been beefed up.
Using TAILS + Tor + whatever to send documents doesn't help if you left a huge electronic trail obtaining the documents, and doesn't strip identifying printer dots or word changes from the documents.

Hey, if you can't trust an insider threat, then who can you trust? I mean, sure, he lied his ass off to THEM, but he'd never lie to US!
