"The Tor network is one of the safest, most reliable ways of adding a strong layer of privacy and protection for your Linux desktop, and everyone should consider using it. Not only does Tor give you anonymity, but it also provides data encryption. Personally, I prefer using Tor over VPNs, because Tor routes your internet traffic through multiple volunteer-operated servers, making it far more difficult to trace."
"Sure, you can opt to use the Tor Browser, but that only protects your web browsing, so it's not global protection on your desktop. Also: I found the most private and secure way to browse the web -- and it isn't incognito mode There is, however, a simple app you can use to gain global anonymity/encryption for all of your desktop apps that send data packets beyond your LAN."
"What you'll need: The only thing you'll need for this is a Linux distribution that supports Flatpak apps. If your Linux distribution doesn't have Flatpak installed, you can install it from the standard repositories (such as sudo apt-get install flatpak -y). That's it. Let's get you anonymous. After the installation is completed, you should find the Carburetor launcher in your desktop menu."
Tor provides anonymity and data encryption by routing internet traffic through multiple volunteer-operated servers, which makes tracing more difficult. Tor Browser protects only web browsing and does not offer system-wide protection for desktop applications. Carburetor is a simple, Linux-only Flatpak app that enables global Tor anonymity and encryption for all desktop apps that send packets beyond the LAN. Flatpak must be available on the distribution; Flatpak can be installed from standard repositories (for example sudo apt-get install flatpak -y). After installing Carburetor, a launcher appears in the desktop menu and Tor can be enabled with one click.
