Best OS for an air-gapped computer

I have a Toughbook with no wifi hardware and no hard drive that I use for various things that don't involve the internet, but I can never settle on a good OS. It has to be live, since there's no HD, and ideally it should have little to no internet infrastructure and various other types of spyware. I started with Tails and am now currently using Porteus. Any OS recommendations for my setup?

If you want to get the work done in post apocalyptic world and then have some entertainment:
Windows 7 with gaymes, word processor, digital notebook, CAD and industrial machinery drivers/tractor cracking software.
Live system on airgapped machine is not really practical, unless you need a secure terminal networked over sneakernet with other computer or networks, so then it probably should be a mail reader/composer, document editing, image manipulation, encryption and steganography software running on minimal free software system.

If you drop the part about not having a hard-drive, unironically Gentoo.
Manually download all the distfiles, excluding only the ones you know for certain you wont use, and you're set with a customizable system that needs no internet access to easily change the system.

If your secondary computer you're using to make all these bootable USB drives is running Ubuntu, then you can download Cubic and take a different Ubuntu live ISO and use Cubic to customize it to your needs. Rip out all the spyware/botnet, delete all the applications that require internet, and add all the packages you want. Then you get a nice little custom ISO you can use however you like.

Install OpenBSD to a flash drive or external disk and boot from that. If you're paranoid enough to airgap yourself, it should suit your needs.

You really have to give more hints as to what you wish to use it for.

I heard windows 10 is good

Unironically? This hippie-ass shit: endlessos.com/home/

It's made to be used by uneducated niggers in Africa who don't have Internet in the first place.

I was going to post this. It's also used in American prisons.

Since you're air gapped, what's the point of chosing any OS at all.
It just must suit your needs.
Since you're not using any HDD, you seem to not use it for accountability, to taking sensible notes.
Seriously, what's even the point.
I would have said maybe you want to connect anonymously from a foreign wifi through tor, but that's an air gap.

What the fuck are you doing on it.
If it's for note taking, install gentoo, and boot on emacs. Technically, you don't even need xorg since there is the framebuffer, even though it's far comfier to use emacs in GUI.

I'm not even commenting about the faggots advising windows, or any other fucking shit os. If the guy can't fucking figure its own solution, then what the fuck is he even doing here. And what the fuck ARE YOU even doing here.

try heads. it's fully libre including kernel blobs. it is based on devuan, a systemd-free fork of debian.

LibreXP

google first

Slackware or OpenBSD

whats this air-gapped meme i'm hearing about? Some faggot at work mentioned it so now I know he's an 8channer

Airgapped = "nobody can hack me if I'm outside the internet"
Between your computer and the invader there is only air, an airgap.
It's half true half wrong, obviously someone can still break into your system with physical access, but you have much better certainty about your security when the attacker needs to do their thing through the meatspace. When you're plugged to the internet the question of whether or not someone broke into the system's answer is "I don't know, what proof do I have it didn't happen?".

It works great on a personal level but when we're talking about an entity then the entity doesn't gain anything from it, for instance the united states sabotaged the iranian nuclear program even though their internal networks were airgapped because they managed to make workers plug in random flash drives with malware. The problem is often in the people, and you can control yourself, but not others.

"airgapped" is leaving a whole section of physical security out of the formula. (2 factor authentication, physical security, segmentation out of the network) Also it ties into the good old "social engineering" trope. Kevin Mitnick supposedly was able to get around this by asking people to actually plug devices into the computers.

So where did this meme come from? I'm getting too old for this shit.

This right hur

Shit, they actually made a Linux for Niggers™ that isn't a joke?
I guess there's a market for everything :/

you have to fart around the case, it stops the aliens from taking your nudies away

TempeOS

Yup. Literally linux for niggers.

The computers they're selling actually look pretty nice.

I'm surprised there aren't OSs like tails/heads but based on microkernel like seL4 or MINIX.
It seems like restricted drivers to userland would be a huge security benefit since they could be better locked down if malicious/faulty.
I highly doubt people have looked through all the FOSS driver code in Linux looking for backdoors. Thus the drivers should be isolated.

OP a pedo fagit that still hasn't posted a use case.

Let's say the use case is top secret R&D. CAD, fluid/mechanical simulation for spyplanes or something like the X-37B. Something where the plans cannot be leaked at any cost.

You're going to need to build the computer in the beginning and put the OS on it, so that's really a huge attack vector. If the ISO is infected, you're fucked from the start.

Also, there will be technicians plugging/unplugging USB or other removable storage to transfer data between engineering rigs.

How would you secure this data?

I would rather get an OoGhiJ MIQtxxXA.

Hide it on a normalfag Windows PC in plain sight tbh. Disguised as a video game model.

I read somewhere that specially trained people working in nuclear plants audit incoming data and hand-type it again into another computer (makes sense after that Stuxnet happenings). Also CIA agents retype some data beyond a security level that cannot ever interact with a lower level.

What I'm wondering is how much time would it take to audit and rewrite an entire OS by hand and use that in extremely critical systems. And I'm talking an entire Ubuntu ISO or something comparable by size.

I see. You think not using HDD or network reduces attack vectors
y'all niggers don't even orgone.

There is no best OS
The agents know you if you are a high profile individual and tails your coords unless you have 'air-gapped' out of the "6 degrees of separation".
Better keep a low profile and hide footprint. That's the golden rule. Once they know who you are then it's only a matter of time until you see a glowing car outside your window blinds.

Roll an extremely minimal kernel with hardened gentoo. grsec debacle notwithstanding, you can still setup selinux, musl and pax, so I'm not sure what you're whining about. Heads is superior to tails and diskless OSes will only become more popular and sophisticated as time goes on. Another suggestion would be Alpine Linux.

Child pornographers and pederasts won't be getting the rope. They will be tortured for as long as their bodies can physically endure. They will be kept alive and sober. They will enjoy every method that human ingenuity ever devised.

Does a patched Linux kernel protect against malicious drivers as well as a microkernel?
I DON'T THINK SO!
