Re: [Tails-dev] A Few Queries On TailsOS

Side Note: When I downloaded the .iso file, the name read
"tails-amd64-6.10" and the 'amd64' part somewhat confused me as I was using
an Intel PC when downloading. I asked ChatGPT if I was downloading the
right one, and it said that the file supports both AMD and Intel. After
testing, it did work fine, but I couldn't test for issues as I had trouble
connecting to the internet. So please let me know if they are
dual-compatible (also do rename the .iso to something more understandable,
otherwise other newbies might think their computer doesn't support the iso).
