I'm mostly talking about the long term pain in the ass, not the short term installation or benefits. Using a RAM distro is a similar comparison.
I'm a little drunk and/or retarded. So slow down a little friend. You mean that using tmpfs for the /home would prevent you from editing anything else on the partition? Also isn't the desktop in /home?

I'd guess, a seamless VM on a separate hypervisor OS would be an ideal kiosk for guest normalfags. My autism can't comprehend how you could possibly save a running main system with all encryption keys in memory from fucking with.

Almost everybody using Linux does this you moron. It's called Factory Data Reset.

How is this different from having a Bedrock Linux install?

Wouldn't data-recovery techniques still show the previous changes? How is it CIA-proof?

Using tmpfs for the home directory of the guest user (let's say /home/guest) would allow the user to store temporary files in memory. Ordinary unix permissions would prevent the guest user from changing anything in /usr, /etc, /var etc.. After the guest user logs out, everything in his home directory (/home/guest) will be removed and replaced with the default. The desktop icons are stored in each user's home directory, but they would be restored to the default upon each logout.
