Just because you haven't been caught doesn't mean https is suddenly a private way to pirate. It's really not that complicated.

No it doesn't, because that's how you get caught
eh I never trust used computer parts, especially graphics cards. I always assume crypto mining.
I'm using a GTX 1080 still and looking to upgrade to an AMD card. What's a solid card I can get under $600?
edit: thanks dudes, picked up a 6700xt for $350
I see zero reason to use Ubuntu over Fedora
Selinux is more secure then app armor, but more difficult to use. Ubuntu is also pretty secure, I'm just not as familiar with it. I mentioned it for the privacy but, since it used to have some Amazon bloat crapped bundled and telemetry built in.
Pretty much any distro that isn't Ubuntu. Are you asking for privacy or security? Those are very different.
For security, I'd stick to more complete distros like Fedora instead of more diy distros like NixOS or Arch. They're great to learn and tinker with, but distros like Fedora have security experts adding mitigations and security stuff in the distro by default, whereas most users of Arch or something would have to manually look up those things and keep up to date on the latest security. So basically, none of them lol.
Using more hardcore security distros like QubesOS is not very realistic as a daily driver. You'll see Linux nerds name drop it and claim they know what they're talking about, but none of them will actually dailt drive it because it's a very painful experience. Just stick with flatpaks as much as you can for pretty solid security.
Reminder that Microsoft is trying to shift Windows to be entirely cloud based, so this can easily happen overnight without your consent. You don't own your OS. Linux is the only way, unless you're one of those strange BSD folks.
the role of leveling to 20 fore free roll and never using
I don't think you know what objectively means. You meant to use the word subjectively.
