Currently using macmini i5 from 2014 and HP i7 from 2016. Wary about purchasing from woke companies and don't want to upgrade for a good long time. Budget of 2000$. Would appreciate the input of battle-hardened keyboard warriors.

Now, look up a m.2 drive. It’s night and day compared to a HDD.
Thanks. Is Linux better for protection? I know windows is the easiest to hack and also most susceptible to viruses. Also do they come with vpn already loaded or will I need to add that to the distro?
You’re susceptible in either case - an OS doesn’t really provide good protection out of the box but I will say windows Defender has gotten better and the playing field is a lot more level.
As for VPNs- most OS have some basic tools built in but you will probably need to download a client, depending on what exactly you’re doing. The use cases can vary greatly so it’s hard for me to say!
P2P and financial
Yeah, most clients will have built in VPN options - it’s safe to say you can find what you’re looking for no matter what you pick.
