Whenever you need to be extra spooky anonymous, tor is the best option, but if you really want every trace of whatever shit you're doing to disappear, create a bootable Tails OS usb. It is an OS that runs in the RAM and because of that your local activity can't be detected via forensic analysis, however it doesn't change people see from you online. However it runs everything through tor which is good. I would use Mullvad VPN most of the time, when doing everything, just switch to a different server between different containerised tasks. VPNS DO NOT MAKE YOU ANONYMOUS, you're only moving the burden of proof from your ISP to Mullvad, but you're making it a lot harder for feds/doxxers to find you. Also using different servers between every task makes it a lot harder for websites to band together to track you. ProtonVPN is probably a honeypot. You can't pay with monero. FOR PAYMENT use Monero wherever you can. It is your best friend, it is a cryptocurrency with a private blockchain so nobody can see where your money comes and goes, or how much you have. The IRS hates it! Buy bitcoin first, then just flip it into monero. Find some service that does that for you. As for what Operating System you use, Linux is the only one that doesn't spy on you. Except Ubuntu, that shit definitely spies on you. Use Linux Mint or PopOS if you have to be a noobuntu user, or use Fedora if you want that bleeding edge without the autogynephilia of Arch Linux. Gentoo is the best distro of course, but unless you're autistic you don't need it. MAKE SURE YOU USE FULL DISK ENCRYPTION! USE A SECURE PASSWORD, 4-6 WORDS LONG WITH RANDOM NUMBERS IN BETWEEN! SOMETHING YOU CAN MEMORISE AND TYPE BLINDFOLDED. And REMEMBER, your disk is only inaccessible once you FULLY SHUTDOWN OR RESTART THE COMPUTER. If you just lock your screen overnight, it isn't locked. The feds will easily be able to read the contents of your drive. QubesOS is the best for your privacy, but you will never be able to play games or use your resources to their full potential on it. It really bloats up your system. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are Edward Fucking Snowden Avoid installing software that you don't need. Use flatpaks and not apt or whatever system package manager you have, because flatpaks are sandboxed and can't snoop on the rest of your system. Use flatseal to manage permissions, and use it to cut off network privileges to shit that doesn't need wifi (like obsidian, for example). This is just part one, I was going to wait till tomorrow to post, but I thought I'd just post it now and finish it off tomorrow. It's really late and we're getting deep into eurocuck hours so I need to hop off. I hope this saves at least one of you. Goodnight.
