Is this Tails a Linux distro? How come it is so safe? I might be finally doing the switch to GNU/Linux anyway, with Ubuntu in mind...

Edit: Yeap its built on Debian and it forces you to surf the net via Tor.

Nothing is forcing you. It is system designed for extreme uses. If you want ultimate privacy build in TOR requirements this is for you. I doubt that bitcoin users need that. Basic windows is more useful for mainstream bitcoin usage.

It's worth noting that by using Tor, you are risking the possibility of a 0 day exploit on https. People have been hacked like this. Unless you really want tor, try private internet access or don't even use VPN.
