Is Whonix better than Tails?
Both Tails and Whonix route pretty much all their traffic through the Tor Network, but Whonix has better defense against a lot more attack vectors (see https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Comparison_with_Others), in that regard it might be better for you, if that is what you seek.
How much RAM do I need for Whonix?
Whonix-Workstation ™ Xfce RAM Saving Mode[edit]
Whonix-Workstation ™ Xfce can be run with with as little as 512 MB RAM, but resource intensive operations like upgrades can leave the virtual machine in a frozen state. Assign more RAM during upgrades; 1280 MB RAM should be more than enough.
Is Whonix completely anonymous?
Whonix ™ Architecture[edit]
Servers can be run, and applications used, anonymously over the Internet. DNS leaks are impossible. Malware with root privileges cannot discover the user's real IP address.
Does Whonix hide IP address?
Whonix ™ Features[edit] . It hides the user's IP address / location and uses the Tor network to anonymize data traffic. This means the contacted server, network eavesdroppers and operators of the Tor network cannot easily determine which sites are visited or the user's physical location.
