Persistant background must be implemented on Tails OS! : Tails | Torhoo darknet markets

TLDR : Spotted Tails users IRL just because of default background

Two weeks ago I was in a different town from mine , in a coffee shop with tables that sit close to each other , next to me sat 2 younger guys with a laptop so that I could see maybe 20% of their screen .

I was not even looking curiously but when I glanced for a split second I immediately noticed the Tails default blue background so I leaned over a bit and sure enough I recognized the UI .

They were unable to resolve some issue for a solid hour so I said "I can probably help you guys if you're having problems on your Tails machine " (sounds a bit nicer in my language).

Both were spooked but one still muttered yyes , so I just thought them how PGP works and fixed their mistake , also gave them advice to always change background to default windows 10.

IMO the Tails OS default background looks suspicious as hell even If you don't know about Tails , and if you do its painfully easy to recognize .

Imagine I was a fed these 2 would have been done for , and I'm not a software engineer but I guess custom persistent background feature isn't super hard to implement and It would serve a real purpose for OpSec.

But if you see the tails "UI" (gnome) and a solid black background with a guy wearing a red hat in the corner, steal that laptop and sell it to the Chinese.

there use to be a feature where you could turn your tails into a windows looking clone for out in public use.

Yea I think that should be brought back 100% since most optimal scenario is using tails on public WiFi.

On one hand, I get the idea you're shooting for here.

On the other, what do you mean they would have been done for? Tails isn't illegal, nor does it mean they're even doing anything illegal. Just saying.

Well from my interaction with them I could tell what they're after , also one of them had a tattoo which symbolizes someone who raves hard here in my country .

If they had a Windows background, but I still noticed, I would find it even more suspicious, than having default.

You can change the background in GNOME settings. And you're right, a windows wallpaper would make more sense.
