i have a few r-pis, but i still browse via tor on intel hw, because tails wont run on arm.

choices.

Yes it will. Recompile tails, and it'll work fine.

The bootloader's your real issue.

In fact, you can get most of the packages on directly on ARM courtesy of Debian. Even Tor LTS, Tor reasonably-recent and Tor hypernew are available, despite certain claims.

If you didn't know you could compile stuff, then compiling stuff might (not definitely) be a bit beyond you at the moment; if you still want to go ahead with that then try pbuilder. For the Raspberry Pi, you'll want armhf as your target platform.

"Manufacturers B and C use Manufacturer A to pass secure instructions, which isn't secure because it can be compromised. So instead of using CPUs from Manufacturers B or C, use CPUs from Manufacturer A instead."
