ArkOS
Another rockchip Operating System

HiddenVM
HiddenVM — Use any desktop OS without leaving a trace
If at any time Tails pushes an unexpected update, and HiddenVM is not yet updated for it, and you are stuck with a new Tails and no working HiddenVM version, you can re-download and temporarily use an earlier version of Tails until HiddenVM is updated. There are archived direct HTTP download mirrors of Tails images, archived official torrents with PGP signatures, or third-party archives at linuxtracker.org or fosstorrents.com, etc. (Always verify third-party torrents with archived official PGP sigs for safety.) Unless there is a known security vulnerability patched by the new Tails that actually affects how you use Tails, doing a temporary downgrade is not unsafe. You aren't necessarily unsafe by using older-than-one-month-old Tails software for a short time. Thank you for your patience, and stay safe. -

Live CD With Zerofree Utility i686 32Bit
A Custom Puppy Linux Live CD With Zerofree Utility i686 32 Bit
After Booting with this Live CD, just click on the CDROM icon on the Desktop, to open its folder contents, then Right Click the zerofree.sh file and Choose the "Run in Terminal" option and then follow the instructions shown on the terminal. As you may be aware, Booting with a Live CD, requires that you need to change the Boot Order on your System / Guest BIOS, quickly on startup, by pressing either F2 OR F12 OR F10 OR an equivalent key and then change the Boot Order to boot from the CDROM first. Some Hints: Puppy Linux Live CDs show some dialogs / settings window on first startup / first shutdown. Feel free to dismiss / close them, if you do not want to make any changes, to the live cd's operation, next time, on the same system. This will not affect the zerofree's work in any way. Apart from this, using the Internet Browser, built in, would require a Free Memory of 1 GB or more, for better Performance ( as it is generally a memory intensive activity ) -
