I just tried to install tails on a thumb drive - which I’ve done before - and I have to say the experience has degraded substantially. As background, I’m not a novice. Getting an image onto a thumb drive is not the issue. Booting into tails though is seriously crippled. The boot sequence is seriously broken, and I’'d be surprised if any journalists can make tails work. The blue screen of nothing: Activities, Applications, Places is non-responsive with any keyboard, or any mouse (wired, bluetooth, or radio), or keyboard I tried. WTF is wrong with the latest Tails releases?
