CalyxOS has a track record of being slower to apply security and feature updates to its OS and core applications than other custom Android operating systems. Timely security updates are one of the most important factors to consider when determining whether an OS is secure enough for regular use, which is a requirement for privacy.
In contrast to that, GrapheneOS manages to stay close to upstream and in some cases even [deliver updates even before the stock OS does](https://grapheneos.org/features#more-complete-patching).

## Profiles
GrapheneOS significantly improves [user profiles](overview.md#user-profiles) in [multiple ways](https://grapheneos.org/features#improved-user-profiles), such as increasing the limit of how many profiles you can create (16 instead of the standard 4), allowing you to log out of user profiles, disabling app installation, and notification forwarding. All of these improvements make it so user profiles can be daily driven without sacrificng too much usability.

CalyxOS doesn't feature any improvements to user profiles over AOSP, and instead includes a device controller app so that the [work profile](overview.md#work-profile) can be used without needing to download a third party app such as [Shelter](../android.md#shelter). However, work profiles are not nearly as flexible (as you're limited to only one) and don't provide the same amount of isolation and security.

**Tails** is a live operating system based on Debian that routes all communications through Tor, which can boot on on almost any computer from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card installation. It uses [Tor](tor.md) to preserve privacy and anonymity while circumventing censorship, and it leaves no trace of itself on the computer it is used on after it is powered off.

By design, Tails is meant to completely reset itself after each reboot. Encrypted [persistent storage](https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/index.en.html) can be configured to store some data.
Tails is great for counter forensics due to amnesia (meaning nothing is written to the disk); however, it is not a hardened distribution like Whonix. It lacks many anonymity and security features that Whonix has and gets updated much less often (only once every six weeks). A Tails system that is compromised by malware may potentially bypass the transparent proxy allowing for the user to be deanonymized.
Tails also installs uBlock Origin in Tor Browser by default, which potentially makes it easier for adversaries to fingerprint Tails users, and increases the attack surface of the browser. For all of these reasons, if your only goal is to browse the internet anonymously, Tails is not as good of a choice as using [Whonix](linux-desktop.md/#whonix) with [Qubes OS](qubes.md), which is much more secure and leakproof. If your goal is to use a computer without leaving any trace afterwards, Tails may be a good solution for you.

## Connecting to Tor
There are a variety of ways to connect to the Tor network from your device, the most commonly used being the **Tor Browser**, a fork of Firefox designed for anonymous browsing for desktop computers and Android. In addition to the apps listed below, there are also operating systems designed specifically to connect to the Tor network such as [Whonix](linux-desktop.md/#whonix) and [Qubes](qubes.md), which provide even greater security and protections than the standard Tor Browser.
