Fully synced with the Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster” software repositories, Tails 4.16 is the first release in the 4.x series to use the latest and long-term supported Linux 5.10 LTS kernel.

This not only enables better hardware support on Tails, but it also brings new features and extra security. In addition, the Tails 4.16 release comes with all the latest and greatest Tor technologies for anonymous communication. These include the Tor Browser 10.0.12 anonymous web browser, as well as Tor 0.4.5.5 client and server implementation for enabling anonymous communication.
