I’ve heard tails is great for privacy and security, but just how good is it? On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is publicly accessible and 10 is a literal black box, how secure is tails? What are its limitations, from a security standpoint?

If used correctly, I’d say it’s probably as secure as you’re going to get short of airgapping. It’s not a replacement for good OpSec, and as with all security, there is a trade-off in terms of usability.
