It depends on where, qubes at home, tails for just forums and etc at different places.
Every operating system has different use-cases. I'd use a Qubes hardened machine at home on which I depend, and an amnesiac Tails with the minimum needed information when I'm on the go. A blank laptop just for this use-case.
I have a question about Qubes, regarding this post: http://blog.nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion/opsec/sensitivevm/index.html

Is it possible to have a hidden sensitive VM inside Qubes? Or are DispAppVM the usecase for this? Can I not hide the fact that I have some templatevm on my system if I have Qubes?
Disposables ensure that files do not persist without user intervention. Disposables are not amnesic.

I am not aware of a possibility or documented method of having Qubes VMs in a hidden volume.

Or you can combine whoenxi and qubes and make the ultimate setup.
I don't know if any paranoid drug dealer actually does this but hey, you can never be too safe.

Whonix comes installed on Qubes OS by default. Qubes comes with Debian, Fedora, and Whonix templates.

So TAILS is really only "safe" because of the amnesia setup? How does it stack up VS the other systems? It seems as if TAILS is a bit outdated and there are more secure systems now adays. What would somebody suggest for a person that wants a secure setup for vending drugs?

Windows 11, definitely.

Windows 8.1 embedded industry pro is the only correct answer here.
