Snigdha OS Decentralized is an independent, privacy-focused, security-oriented live operating system based on Arch Linux. Designed to run entirely from a bootable USB drive or live media, it leaves zero physical traces on host hardware by running exclusively in volatile RAM (Amnesia), routes all network traffic through the Tor anonymity network fail-closed (NetGuard), and isolates applications using AppArmor and Bubblewrap sandboxes.

No. While Snigdha OS Decentralized respects the trailblazing privacy principles popularized by Tails, it is an entirely independent operating system with its own architecture, desktop environment, and codebase. Key differences include: Arch Linux rolling baseline vs Debian Stable; keyboard-driven modular i3wm with Everblush design vs GNOME Shell; native Rust + GTK4 Security Center and Penetration Center; strict unprivileged user builds; and custom NetGuard nftables architecture.
