Holy shit, How fast do you type? And your explainations are so detailed, thanks a lot!

Is running two different operating systems on different VPNs and different devices also good enough?

Is using one service on the clearnet normally and the other service later after rebooting with TailsOS also a viable option?

Also, QubesOS seems like the perfect solution for me, thank you for the suggestion.

So, unfortunately, the only thing to do is not provide them with more data points to track you, i.e. avoid intrusive social media altogether or move to social media which collect less data.

Yeah... That's not very possible. 95% of people use Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat and these are the only ways to contact them. I'm ok with using these intrusive services for a few minutes at a time to contact people. However, I absolutely do not want facebook to know that me and @[email protected] are the exact same person.

My objective is to make my actual personal identity not be traced across the web to the many accounts I have made on sites where I chose not to give any personal info.

If I open Facebook under my own name, then log into lemmy, I do not want my own identity to be linked with my lemmy account. I know I will be tracked if I do both in the same session or via my browsing history/cookies on the same browser. But what can I do to seperate the link between them?

Is using another browser/rebooting enough? Should I change my Tor connections? Or do I have to use TailsOS on a USB where I restart the PC before logging in to different accounts?

I want to know how much is just enough so my two accounts/identities don't get linked.

What if I turn off my browser or restart my device afterwards? Is it too late, even on TailsOS/Whonix?

 

If I log in to my account that includes my name, will my previously anonymous device now be associated with my account? What if I do the same in TailsOS?

Yeah I just gave up on my primary and installed it on my secondary disk. My problem is gone now.

Okay, I will try again with a live-boot USB this time

edit: Thanks so much! This finally worked

It's a PC. Two Hard Disk Drives

1st Drive: SATA:PM-KINGSTON S

2nd Drive: SATA:SM-ST500LT012

edit: 1st one is of around 138GB, 2nd one has around 500GB

Yes, I have not been able to successfully boot yet. I have already rerun the installer and tried every solution I could find online in rescue mode. Tried repairing grub too.

No, I am not dual-booting.

This is the screen a few seconds afterwards

 

I installed it from the Calamaries Installer found in the LIVE USB ISO this time. And Instead of my primary hdd, I installed it on the other one. Works now, thanks for all of your support, dear nerds.
