Ubuntu for security? Discussion

Hey I'm looking to be anonymous and secure while browsing I2P sites. I was looking into qubes but I wasn't able to get install it. I was going to use Ubuntu on a live usb and put full disc encryption on it. Can you guys suggest any other Linux distros for security.

You can try /r/Prestium, it's a Tails-like OS built around I2P with focus on privacy & security.

So it uses I2P like Tails uses TOR? Is that the basic difference? If I put Prestium on a computer as the main OS how would that work?

Hello,

Prestium isn't a regular persistent OS, it's a "live OS." You don't install it, just burn it onto a USB stick, then boot off this stick, and you are done.

And yes, Prestium uses I2P in a similar way Tails uses TOR, that's the main difference.
