Subgraph OS

Ease of use is one of the design goals of the distro particularly for its privacy tools without compromising their effectiveness. To this end it uses the Gnome 3 desktop. As soon as it’s connected to the internet, the distro establishes a connection to the Tor network. Once connected you can launch the Torbrowser from the Activities Overview. Subgraph doesn’t include the Torbrowser by default but will download it when you launch it for the first time. At first glance, the distro appears like any other Gnome-based desktop. However, the default bundled applications give away its true intentions. Instead of the regular communication applications, Subgraph bundles privacy-fortifying alternatives that route communications via the Tor network. The other major change is that the different applications run inside isolated sandboxes and you can track them using the sandbox icon in the status menu in the top bar.
