If I log in to my account that includes my name, will my previously anonymous device now be associated with my account? What if I do the same in TailsOS?

      What if I turn off my browser or restart my device afterwards? Is it too late, even on TailsOS/Whonix?

          My objective is to make my actual personal identity not be traced across the web to the many accounts I have made on sites where I chose not to give any personal info.

          If I open Facebook under my own name, then log into lemmy, I do not want my own identity to be linked with my lemmy account. I know I will be tracked if I do both in the same session or via my browsing history/cookies on the same browser. But what can I do to seperate the link between them?

          Is using another browser/rebooting enough? Should I change my Tor connections? Or do I have to use TailsOS on a USB where I restart the PC before logging in to different accounts?

          I want to know how much is just enough so my two accounts/identities don’t get linked.

              Holy shit, How fast do you type? And your explainations are so detailed, thanks a lot!

              Is running two different operating systems on different VPNs and different devices also good enough?

              Is using one service on the clearnet normally and the other service later after rebooting with TailsOS also a viable option?

              Also, QubesOS seems like the perfect solution for me, thank you for the suggestion.
