TAILS Linux

Tails is a Linux distribution which one can carry in a USB stick.

Minimum of 4GB is recommended for a persistent volume.

If a good password is used to log in, even if one loses the USB stick one cannot use it.

It is installed in a FAT partition, so if one loses it the data inside can be seen through a Windows PC.

TAILS stand for

Tor
Amnesia
Incognito
Live
System

This is a good Linux solution for a journalist who wants privacy and security.

It helps the user to use Internet anonymously.

If your government is spying on you this is the distribution to use.

1. It uses its own TOR browser which does not store ISP or WiFi location.

It does not use VPN.

2. A stands for Amnesia or loss of memory.

3. It is a Debian based Live Distribution.

4. It leaves behind a blank slate.

5.It is FREE.

I do not think it has games.
