"Live booting is the process of running an operating system from a removable media, such as a USB drive, without installing it on a computer's hard drive. This allows you to try out the operating system without making any changes to your computer's existing setup. Live booting is commonly used for testing out new operating systems, troubleshooting computer problems, and accessing a secure and private environment" -GitHub Copilot (the orginial developer one).
Please note that unless you are running your network traffic through something like tor, you can still be tracked by websites you visit through your IP address.
Linux is an operating system like Windows or MacOS, which basically means it handles system resources to allow you to run programs.
"Linux is a free and open-source operating system that is based on the Linux kernel. It is known for its stability, security, and flexibility, and is used by millions of people around the world. Linux is available in many different distributions, or "distros," each of which is tailored to different use cases and user preferences. Some popular Linux distros include Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian" -GitHub Copilot (the orginial developer one).
