[Tails] USB images instead of ISO images – Testing Needed

From the webpage:

We need your help to test the simplified installation methods of Tails that we will release with 3.12 on January 29.

The method will be much simpler and faster, especially for macOS users, but for Windows users as well. Debian and Ubuntu users won’t have to install a specific program anymore and the process will also be faster for other Linux users.

In short, instead of downloading an ISO image (a format originally designed for CDs) you will download a USB image that is already an image of the data as written to your USB stick by Tails Installer. So no need for Tails Installer anymore and no need for an intermediary Tails nor a second USB stick when installing from Windows or macOS.

You should be able to create a persistent volume right away.

The methods for upgrading Tails will remain the same.

Got a few minutes?

The privacy you protect maybe your own!
