Debian and its derivatives are [the most popular Linux distributions on web servers](https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/os-linux) across the Internet.
Metadata has been used in the past to locate people from pictures they took. For an example, see <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2012/12/04/166487197/betrayed-by-metadata-john-mcafee-admits-hes-really-in-guatemala">NPR: Betrayed by metadata, John McAfee admits he's really in Guatemala</a>.
End-to-end correlation attacks have been studied in research papers, but we don't know of any actual use to deanonymize Tor users. For an example, see <a href="https://www.freehaven.net/anonbib/cache/murdoch-pet2007.pdf">Murdoch and Zieliński: Sampled Traffic Analysis by Internet-Exchange-Level Adversaries</a>.
<p>It is impossible to hide to the websites that you visit that you are using Tor, because the <a href="https://metrics.torproject.org/exonerator.html">list of exit nodes of the Tor network</a> is public.</p>
<p>To learn about the many keyboard shortcuts in GNOME, open the <i>Settings</i>. At the bottom of the <b>Keyboard</b> section, choose <b>View and Customize Shortcuts</b>.</p>

<p>To store the settings of the Welcome Screen across different Tails sessions, turn on the [[Welcome Screen|persistent_storage/configure#welcome_screen]] feature of the Persistent Storage.</p>
<p>The Dotfiles feature only links specific files, and not entire folders, from the Persistent Storage. Accordingly, empty folders are ignored, as shown in the above example.</p>
<p>If you realize later on that some files are missing or damaged, you might be able to recover them by [[analyzing the partition image using <i>Autopsy</i>|fsck#autopsy]].</p>
<p>The Persistent Storage is not hidden. An attacker in possession of your USB stick can know that there is a Persistent Storage. Take into consideration that you could be forced or tricked to give out its passphrase.</p>
