So it's a Debian-based Linux distro with some configuration work done.

I wish they'd simply summarize what it is.

It provides more privacy and security than normal Debian.

How? They fail to say, and most of what they do is just promotional garbage.

On the page that OP linked to, there's statements such as:

"The Everything Tor OS - All traffic is routed through the Tor anonymity network. No exceptions. Whonix is the "All Tor Operating System"."

"Cloaking your typing style - Your typing behavior can be used to identify you. Whonix prevents this with a cloak for your keystrokes."

"Live Mode - Whonix offers a much requested Live Mode. After the session all data will be gone."

So I don't get your point. Of course if you want to know how, in detail, you have to read the documentation.

One of the first and most notable links on the page is labeled "Learn What Is Whonix?". You should read it.

It has a lot of promotional material and little meat.

Also:

> Learn What Is Whonix?

I certainly hope the people behind this distribution have better English than that.

I also hope they're better mannered than you are, and much better informed.

I know you were trying to be insulting in order to "win" our miniscule internet argument. However, since my post does not demonstrate bad manners or a lack of informed-ness, your comment doesn't land, and instead makes you look petty. Just letting you know!
