Hello all,
I am running Bodhi as a live boot, with persistent storage, from a USB drive. Does the activity on the USB drive leave traces on the host computer? I have heard that the Tails operating system does not leave any traces, and is supposed to be run entirely from RAM. (Are those two concepts tied together?). Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi

I believe you were answered in Discord, but as far as I know it shouldn’t leave any trace on the installed system or hdd. As you say it runs completely in ram.

We were all new once!
