-
boot=live
Needed -
plainroot
No sure neither. I found almost no valuable info. Maybe supports disk encryption (?)
Whonix live mode / amnesia / amnesic / non-persistent / anti-forensics -
union=overlay
Yes to keep it, probably redundant, but you never know when the default changes -
ip=frommedia
Yes, " Seems required to not write/etc/network/interfaces
, ok." -
noeject
Yes, let’s keep it, maybe better for quick shutdown. -
nopersistence
, Seems we could remove this one. Maybe persistence (like Tails) could be a nice feature in the future for Whonix-Host
Btw I have just noticed that default Whonix-Host ISO (Isolinux, didn’t check on GRUB yet) does not have these kernel parameters. Is this on purpose? Or should we harmonize it and have the same exact parameters for VMs and Whonix-Host live-mode?
