    nah you can totally stop the surveillance. Just use tailsOS, live in the basement of a building under an aluminum ceiling (to hide from synthetic-aperture radar spy sats), near a busy highway (so the LIGO gravity-wave observatory cant record the sound of your footsteps), get food deliveries so you don’t have to leave, and connect to the internet using a neighbors wifi.

  • In terms of games, modded minecraft runs perfectly for me and so does steam with proton. Theres probably more user friendly distributions that have some sorta GUI to update the OS, but on my machine a shell command is the only way. In terms of security, unless you copy-paste a malicious command into the shell or download malicious software from an untrusted source, you’ll be fine. Package managers are probably the best way to download software. Someone probably offers antivirus for Linux somewhere but I don’t use anything like that 🤷‍♂️ . As for what would be the best distro for you, I’ve never used it but I’ve heard Mint Linux is a good place to start.
