    The most common distros have a Live USB mode where you can run Linux without actually installing it, if you're curious to see what it's like.

    Generally the real thing is faster and has better hardware support, but it's close enough.

        if you're trying to hide your completely-legal-and-mundane stuff from somebody, isn't this still kinda bad

        like, the ojos cincos can backdoor your computer right? Even if you're running linux off a USB, all that stuff is still going through your ISP and your storage drives which are attached to your mobo which has had windows on it at one point

            Much easier to track the crypto payment

            It's wild how insecure crypto is. Once people know your wallet's ID it's fucking game over
