mullvad no longer portforwards, so probably not a good option to torrent with. proton is good if you use their whole ecosystem.

that is relatively low assuming "private bytes" is virtual memory usage. Is that Firefox being idle? How many tabs do you usually keep for your everyday web browsing?
Safest image download would be from Microsoft website. You need activation? Look up Microsoft Activation Script (MAS) on Github. Read the readme on how to use it.
One of the reasons why you want to keep a live-bootable operating system within one of your flashdrives or optical discs.
You probably need another device to securely boot up a live OS to recover your data. Don't use Windows, because it might still be vulnerable to autoplay scripts when mounting your infected OS partition and I assume your infected OS is Windows, so the malwares are going to be compatible and unless you know what you're doing, you probably don't want to take that chance.
If in order to achieve security, users have to give up their privacy and freedom, I guess mobile operating systems are behind regular desktop or server oriented operating systems. I mean no matter how secure the operating system is, with bad opsec things can go wrong pretty quickly anyway.
Why not just use an F-Droid repo?
For some reason the session network (oxen network) now blocks my Hetzner VPS connection (I use for VPN). Have been a session user for around 2 years now and now I have to reconsider Signal.
Personally? Because telegram feels dodgier than WhatsApp. At least I can trust WhatsApp enough around security. If I really want to upgrade my privacy or freedom, I would have chosen either Matrix, Signal or Session.
nowadays I assume cracked software (unless if the crack script is fully open source) to likely contain some kind of malware and I just sandbox them since I play cracked games with bottles flatpak anyway.
Most people only relate Linux to Ubuntu, Linux init system to SysVInit or SystemD, Containerisation to Docker or Kubernetes, Linux desktop to Gnome.
In some cases, it may be due to official support being available but most of the time it's just that people are being taught Ubuntu first as "THE Linux" and that's what they use since then.

Recently needed to try a few distros. Downloading from direct mirrors was way slower than torrenting. So I just torrented the rest of the distros.
