Qubes OS pretty much solves this problem!

The criticism above is wholly unwarranted. You are basically running a collection of VM's. You can create, clone, and dispose of operating systems at will.

Gotta laugh at people criticizing without knowing...Unless connecting from Linux throws major flags, you are good.

It's a much safer OS than Windows, standalone linux, on any given day. Anything touching the web can be disposed and replaced at will. Along with the network management VM.

...or "how to immediately get flagged as a paranoid weirdo nerd and die without credit FOREVER ALONE"

A little like the paradox that by using more secure browsers and configurations, any browser fingerprinting algorithm will single you out reliably from all the other sheep.

Connecting from a Linux based VM will get you flagged? How about one VM used exclusively to connect to banking sites with cookies remaining?

Not sure if you are familiar with how it works, or how using a VM OS works. It's a bare metal hypervisor with VM's to be used at will.

it's like the old adage that "the NSA really love people using PGP email, as it immediately reveals who's worth watching"
