Thanks for the advice and I will be sure to talk about tails as an option as well but I think a need for both exists. Tails seems great if you already know who you need to contact and what you need to do. Qubes has better persistence and allows you to have multiple tabs on separate VMs which makes research a lot easier. Tails is great for research as well but with Qubes you can also run Obsidian on a separate VM and use whonix/tor to get the benefits of a tails type OS while being able to congregate data to a folder on a vault VM. Also I might be wrong but tails would not be much help if someone needed to for example upload terabytes of leaked documents to wikileaks ect. Also Qubes is a security OS so it would probably throw up far less red flags for someone to research it as opposed to Tails which does not serve much of a purpose other than anonymity and leaving less of a trace for investigators.

Like I said, my suggestion was for the particular use case you mentioned earlier:

start looking for the “people that know what they are doing”.

I can learn everything there is to know about cyber security or some kind soul could just point me at the specific key terms that will save me from having to learn a bunch of information that will be useless to me.

There’s no ready recipe it depends on what you want to show in your guides.
