From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Someone else mentioned Qubes, but that is also a rather advanced distro for journalists and other users with a high threat model.
If you want to be able to use your computer as normal, but have a session with maximum privacy and route through Tor, Whonix is your best bet.
If you want something that you cannot possibly mess up, even at the cost of less functionality on your computer, TAILS is your best bet.
