With Whonix, you run two virtual machines on any operating system on any computer. You don't have to use Tails, and it's more secure than Tails. However, the reason I took the tutorial down is because I decided newbies shouldn't be running any random OS in the Workstation VM. Yes, it's safer at the network layer in that Tor can't be bypassed, but that's like 20% of what can deanonymize you. Your behavior online can deanonymize you. Leaving unencrypted emails on a server that is seized by LE can deanonymize you. An operating system update that sends your license to Microsoft can deanonymize you. I think random newbs should run the Workstation that Whonix supplies. https://whonix.org/wiki/Main_Page
