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 after installing debian and booting it up. I used the "complete package" Iso they offer.

Yeah, I couldn't find a good solution online either. Maybe It was a bit flip? Guess the universe sent a high velocity particle at my PC from lightyears away just to ruin my day, that's the only explaination I have after seven hours of looking online.
Sure, I'll check out some other distros.

Is it okay to log in to my actual social media account via Tor?

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.

Did you mean to reply to me or @[email protected]? If it's me, could you please specify what you mean?

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.

Partition size wasn't specified in any step of the setup. If that is the issue, Is there any way to fix it?

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?

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

This works perfectly! Fedora actually installed like a normal distro on my primary disk. Since my primary is faster, I will remove debian from my secondary now.
You can have my upvote, lmao.
