With that being said, DivestOS is not without its faults. The developer does not have all of the devices he is building for, and for a lot of them he simply publishes the builds blind without actually testing them. Firmware update support [varies](https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/firmware-empty/-/blob/master/STATUS) across devices. DivestOS also takes a very long time to update to a new major Android, and actually took longer than CalyxOS did as mentioned [above](#firmware-updates).

Future versions of Whonix will likely include [full system AppArmor policies](https://github.com/Whonix/apparmor-profile-everything) and a [sandbox app launcher](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Sandbox-app-launcher) to fully confine all processes on the system.

### Tails
[Tails](https://tails.boum.org/) is a live operating system based on Debian focusing on anonimity and amnesia.
While it is great for counter forensics as nothing is written to the disk; it is not a hardened distribution like Whonix. It lacks many anonymity and security features that Whonix has and gets updated much less often (only once every six weeks). A Tails system that is compromised by malware may potentially bypass the transparent proxy allowing for the user to be deanonymized.
