• Ten years from Snowden revelations – what's next for Tor and privacy online?

  I’m not sure about the Tor project, but the closely-related Tails project (which is excellent, BTW) seems to be uncomfortably adjacent to far-left anarchist groups. Their website, https://tails.boum.org, is hosted by one such group, and on it they prominently link to another anarchist “collective” called RiseUp.

  Slax. It is based pn Debian, so you can apt install most packages. Make sure to read Slax's installation guide first though. Source: over 2 years ago

  I'm trying to download slax linux from slax.org but its not working.
