Hi guys, I hope this is the right subdread.
I downloaded Tails 4.5, and I'd like to know which version of Electrum comes with it. I assume it's the latest (3.3.8, I believe?), but I just want to be 100% sure because, as I'm sure you know, versions from last year are not secure.
As an aside, how would I have found this out in Tails without asking? As it comes pre-installed I don't think I can find the file to check.
Cheers, hope you're all staying safe and healthy.

You are full of bad advice. First of all, the copy of Electrum that comes with tails is the exact same version as the most recent version of electrum that you can download. So you, don't know what you are talking about. Just go to your terminal and type "electrum -v" and electrum will start in verbose mode showing you the version on the very first line. Secondly, YOU SHOULD NOT be using other gpg software with tails. Tails is specifically designed to keep noobs safe and that is why it is so limited in scope. The less options there are, the less you can fuck up. Don't listen to this opsec clown please, he has no clue what he is talking about. If anything learn how to use gpg in the tails command line. You can start by opening up the terminal and typing "gpg --help" or if you want to go further in depth, you can type "man gpg". That is what and all you should be doing. Anyone download other software on tails because it has more options is an idiot. You only add software to tails if it is an absolute and total necessity, such as adding an XMR wallet if you are a market vendor. Tails is good, really good. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and it does it well. It keeps you safe on the dark net. Don't fuck it up with modification. If you want to customize your dark net OS then just download debian or cubes with whonix for gods sake and configure it yourself. But that takes a lot more knowledge. Stop spreading bad information man. Because thats what you are doing.
