Does an OS exist that provides a user with a private session. I mean no history, logging or tracking? I'm a journalist working on a sensitive story and need complete safety/secrecy. I already have TOR for internet but was wondering if there is a completely private OS.

Everything is its own VM, you can run apps in secure environments and when you close them it get rid of them.
You can even create networking VM's have that connected to a VPN and then make your other VMs go through it for a secure connection. There is a lot you can do with it for privacy.
Also in windows pro you have windows sandbox, when you close the sandbox everything is deleted. It is a tool lots of people don't know Microsoft offers and it is a sandbox, I use it for testing all the time.
What is your use case? If you need a private computer to read and write you can setup a desktop with Linux and air-gap it (ZERO connectivity to the outside world, no wi-fi, no internet, nothing). Then transfer specific data in and out of it using a USB stick. That's just one example.
* Cross-Platform
* Multi-Language
* Offline
* Room Protection
For extra security, you can use an external data disposal tool [2].
