From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I want a Tails-like LiveUSB OS like tails, but without the tor reliance. Does anyone have a suggestion? Heads is dead, last release 2018, but it resembles what I am looking for.

OP, could you please properly vocalize what you actually want/need?

If you don't know how, consider at least to answer the following:

Do you need it to be amnesiac? The very thing that defines Tails*.
What's wrong with Tor? Is your threat model so paranoid that you (somehow) don't even trust Tor? Or, are you not in favor of its (relatively) low bandwidth? Or, is privacy and/or security not even a thing you seek after to begin with? Or, at least not beyond what your average distro provides already*.
What do you intend to do with it? Daily drive it? If so, do you need persistence?
What does "Tails without Tor reliance" provide/offer you beyond a LiveUSB from any other distro? Or, rather, what do you hope it will provide/offer you?

FWIW, I'm afraid we might be dealing with a classic XY problem. Hopefully I'm just mistaken...

I appreciate your attempt to help, but I do also realize that what I'm asking for is rather niche and may not exist.
