    The tinfoil hat privacy nut in me always wants to set up a Tails device because I think the idea is awesome but at the end of the day I'm not resisting a nation state level adversary

      Right?! I love practicing privacy in all forms even as you just stated I'm not a threat to any state.

      No, they don’t have 8GB limit for RAM but you need at least 2 gigabytes of RAM for smooth experience, also they do have for 8GB limit USB sticks. You can learn more here.

        i see, i was using the live iso on a usb. any idea why that limit is imposed on the newer versions of tails? it was working fine before v3.6 or something, and then suddenly i update and can't use...

        i see, i was using the live iso on a usb. any idea why that limit is imposed on the newer versions of tails? it was working fine before v3.6 or something, and then suddenly i update and can't use tails anymore.

        i didn't like that they did that. it's going to discourage and prevents tails use, especially in parts of the world where it can have a benefit to humanitarian aide

        maybe a slim version or something would be good to start, or maybe they just don't care or don't want that affiliation

          Please check release page for version 3.6, maybe that can help you to understand what is the problem. Also, slim version or something like that would be great. Tails team is open to suggestions....
