Security from whom, what's your threat model?
In the mean time just encrypt all your shit, the more you learn the more you realise how fucked we all are.

Honnestly this depends on who you are / what your activities are.
If you're just the average normie going on facebook and youtube (well you're screwed by them already) you already got a pretty decend security !

>Security from whom, what's your threat model?
I'd just like to:
>search / browse
>torrent
>text / call / etc
anonymously and securely

>the more you learn the more you realise how fucked we all are

so far all I know is that Windows and Google are botnets

>text /call
Fuck that, trash your phone lel

Actually, this is wrong. The average normie willfully puts information around the web and is susceptible to blackmail. The only saving grace for them is that their data is only really valuable in bulk, so they're rarely individually targeted.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
