solitario Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Hello, I would like to ask here, taking advantage that in this forum there are many with advanced knowledge in systems, which is the safest operating system today and why.

mclaren85 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The one unknown to hackers is the safest. Because every software/OS has holes in it whether known or unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solitario Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Let's assume this situation. I am the target of a government. What OS would you recommend to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclaren85 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I would choose Linux based OS for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like Tails OS if you're lazy. Or custom build your OS from scratch (not literally), take a host linux OS, download the latest linux kernel and build your own OS from there in the chroot environment, compile everything and use that.

shtatori Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Except the OS, I guess it is very important which web browser you use, and which firewall. In most of the browsers by default all tracking/spying options are turned on, so you need manually to disable many things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
