Torsocks mostly does the same thing. Kind of. (Not really.) >> Word of warning: if you want to stay anonymous, you should use Tor >> Browser or Tails.

For Tor Browser, your best bets are containers of some sort. I have Arch and Debian chroots for running software that Guix can't run yet. Maybe it has a Flatpak? I think there might be some info on the mailing list about running it, I know I've seen others discuss it. Personally, I use Tails from a USB stick, it's the most secure of all the alternatives.
