The latest version of Tails is based on the Debian GNU/Linux 8 operating system Jessie, while the upcoming Tails 3.0 will be based on Debian GNU/Linux 9 Stretch, which is expected to be released sometime in spring 2017. Also, it appears that Tails 3.0 will be the first version to run only on 64-bit architecture computers .
"Tails 3.0 will be the first version of Tails based on Debian 9 (Stretch). Therefore, it will essentially upgrade all the software it includes, ”revealed the developers of Tails in the announcement of the first release.
"It will also require a 64-bit computer, and GNOME Shell is configured to use black theme as default."
The new Tails 3.0 is powered by the 4.8 Linux kernel and uses the GNOME 3.22.2 graphical interface by default. We do not yet know whether the development team will keep this version until the final version or upgrade the distribution components to the latest ones, such as GNOME 3.24 and Linux kernel 4.9.
If you want to try the early Wales 3.0, in the Alpha version you can download the ISO from the link below. However, you will not be able to install it by updating some Tails that are in the 2.x version. Also, you need to know that this is a prelude and it is natural to contain unresolved issues.
