Tails website link: https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.14/index.en.html

New Features:

  1. Persistent storage automatic migration to LUKS2 with Argon2id. Previous cryptographic standards used for persistent storage in Tails 5.12 and earlier are weak to state-sponsored attackers with physical device access. It will migrate automatically, butits's advised if you do not have a very strong password to change it.

  2. Option in Tails Installer to backup Persistent Storage

  3. Captive portal detection during Tor connection to allow signing into network when needed (such as motels)

  4. Donate option built into Electrum - Support the Tails team if you can!

Tails 5.8 is the most important release of Tails in years. It includes both major redesign of existing features, important usability improvements, and hardened security.

This is my first try to add some spirit of adventure to boring TAILS reality. My thanks to all people โ€“ known and unknown to me โ€“ who provided parts and variants of this solution, guidance, and encouragement. No work is done alone. Attached please find a pack of simple scripts and guidelines how to install #Flatpak and #Signal under Tails. Solution is crude-ish, no integration with Gnome and scripts are spewing some warnings.

So consider it experimental and for fun only!

I plan to add some more apps (Delta Chat and Briar for starters) and also, thanks to your generous feedback, ;-) to improve quality from "daredevil" through "intrepid" and eventually to "boringly routine".

I hope you'll like it.
