Electrum’s hardware wallet support is gone, and adding alternatives isn’t easy.

That sucks. TAILS was awesome. Now it's dead to me.☠️

I never use to bitcoin apps in any os.

Always always always go to the source.

On tails I’d grab the appimage

I never used it with serious money, but I like the option in case there's an emergency. Installing software on TAILS is not fun.

Persistence partition

Always read only wallet

And when you need to spend enter the seeds

Running sparrow on TAILS is no problem at all. If you don't mind the german, here's a step by step guide:

only some Cake Wallet types work on Tails without extra measures. which is fine if the cryptocurrencies you are interested all happen to work. I had to use 'proxychains' to get some to work when I was testing Cake on Tails.

You can save the .appimage of Sparrow along with wallet files in persistent storage. But its a time consuming process.

Impermanence in NixOS is where your root directory gets wiped every reboot...

Add some bitcoin apps to the configuration and create an image with it.

You end up with a potential bitcoin bootable USB key that records nothing.
