#2They use hexchat as an example but do these processes run with the users configuration? Wouldn't this leak IRC usernames if you forget to change it.
... Or leak cookies if you launch a browser?

What do you mean by leak usernames? It would leaks that a username uses tor. It would still leak that all of the usernames connecting to the same IRC host would be the same person.
IRC seems pretty dangerous if you want to remaining anonymous considering how many people are logging disconnection times allowing them to be correlated with other network disruption events.

Irssi iirc used to default your username to your system username, so noobs would leak their given name by accident. After seeing that I changed my username in Linux to always be the most common username

#5The DevEx is beautifully done here i.e it’s idiot-proof! Nice work to the people behind this <3

Separation of concerns - although Tor goes to great lengths to prevent fingerprinting, Tor and Oniux’s main aim IMHO is to make the source IP untraceable.
Same thing could have been said about using Tor to login to Gmail (if it were not HTTPS).

What is the most common Linux username though? Obviously you don’t want to do your regular work as root. And guest has its own issues.
Is there a “common name”?

Not sure about "most common", but I have some vms that use `user` as the username.
