> In the 3rd security level, with scripts fully disabled, TAILS is one of the most robust solutions I'm aware of, with Whonix deserving a honorary mention.

Tails and Whonix have different use cases. Whonix is meant to be a persistent OS that provides anonymity. If you're installing an anonymous OS to your laptop as your daily driver, Whonix is your pick.

Tails is amnesic, meaning once shut down it forgets everything. Tails runs in RAM only, so everything is destroyed on shutdown. Should your Tails disk be confiscated, the only thing that can be found is that Tails is installed. If you want to use an anonymous OS without digital evidence Tails is the better option.
