It uses Debian GNU/Linux as a base and adds a Gnome environment with Tor, Tor Browser, Pidgin, Thunderbird, Electrum, LibreOffice, GPG and KeePassXC. For more information, please refer to this page. Version 5 is based on Debian 11 and, among other things, OpenPGP has been replaced by Kleopatra. The following changes and improvements have been made in version 5.17:

Changes and updates

• Rename Tails Installer as Tails Cloner. (#16907)
• Install more printer drivers and enable all printers automatically. (#18254)
• Update Tor Browser to 12.5.3.
• Update Thunderbird to 102.15.0.

Fixed problems

• Fix some failures while unlocking the Persistent Storage. (#19728)
  Sometimes, upgrading the cryptographic parameters of the Persistent Storage was taking too long and made unlocking the Persistent Storage fail. We allowed the upgrade to take more time before reporting a failure. Please keep reporting errors using WhisperBack if you have problems unlocking your Persistent Storage.
