Change your passwords AFTER reseting your PC. Otherwise the hacker could gain access to your new passwords.

well good thing you said to not take this advice because it's not really good.

  1. Don't use crypto mixers, a lot of them are scams and their usefullness is up to debate -> instead use monero, the actual private crypto that is used throughout darknet.
  2. Don't use VPNs to be anonymous. VPN are useful for a few things: torrenting, browsing on a public wifi and bypassing georestrictions. they are not useful if you want to be anonymous! To be anonymous, use TOR (or i2p) 3.the VM advice is good. alternatively you could use TailsOS which is more user friendly.
  3. Don't. Especially if you need to ask how to do it first.

it's an HP based on ryzen. the ID is "HP 15s-eq1706nz" I tried looking for info on internet and asking in a few forums but the model does not seem popular and HP wont provide linux drivers. I tried a lot of stuff like editing configs and such but nothing worked. The interesting thing is that when booting from a live USB, the touchpad works perfectly but after installing it isn't even recognised.

I would love to use Linux on my laptop but the touchpad isn't recognised and only has windows drivers :( i have tried so much stuff but it didnt work out. My desktop is mostly for gaming so windows makes more sense.

What happens if the Swiss government orders the VPN compagny to log the IP of your account? VPN also allows for cross site fingerprinting so your identity can be correlated between sites.

I agree that vpns are fine for most people and use cases but is that a reason to lie by saying they make you anonymous? Vpns don't make you anonymous. That is a fact, why not say it? Besides, VPNs are constantly shilled so I am not worried about their popularity. Tor or I2p make you anonymous, if you want to be anonymous, use them. For torrenting or bypassing geoblock, vpns are good.

Does ansible make sense for a single server? I like the concept but I don't know if It makes sense for my purpose.

Nextcloud to replace Google drive/docs. Jellyfin or plex for media. The arrs to aquire media (if you have the patience). A blog? A game server to play with friends.

I suggest using docker and docker-compose as it makes everything way easier. It does still take time and it can be frustrating but it is very rewarding.
