Tails 3.0: A few days after his announcement Tails 2.7, the Debian GNU / Linux-based live development team revealed some technical details for the next major release.
Yes, we're talking about the upcoming Tails 3.0, which is in development and will apparently be a major update to the anonymous operating system that Edward Snowden used to protect his online identity. As we mentioned above Tails is a Debian-based distribution that uses the popular Tor anonymous network and the Tor Browser.
The latest version of Tails is based on operating system Debian GNU/Linux 8 Jessie, while the upcoming Tails 3.0 will be based on Debian GNU/Linux 9 Stretch, which is expected to be released sometime in the spring of 2017. Also, Tails 3.0 appears to be the first version that will 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 Linux kernel 4.8 and uses the GNOME 3.22.2 GUI by default. We still don't know if the development team will keep this version until the final version or upgrade them components of the distribution to the latest releases 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.
