First of: lose windows ..... it is quite easy to move to Linux or OpenBSD.
It comes in many varieties ....(think Quebes) But the easiest are Mint, MXlinux, Artix. You may have to get used to the fact that you are in control. This means you decide how your system is being developed.
Learn to use the command line.
When it comes to malware => safe browsing habits are your prime tool to stay safe online. Remember that IT is all about easy no sweat user experience and your data.
So maybe, clicking links is not your best choice, unless you know what you are clicking.
Cloud: as easy as it seems, it is all about access. That is a vulnerability. Prepare for it.
Know how to safe content offline.
From time to time you may want to check rootkits & stuff.
A VPN will help in blocking tracking. THe same with Ublock origin.
As a browser, I think that librewolf is a good choice.
Again, despite the beautiful tools, your safety is dependent on your behavior and knowledge of what & how you are doing. Learn and be ready for a steep learning curve.
When Q said: you have more than you know, it definitively goes for linux. You then indeed have more than you know.
PS: stop supporting Bill Gates may be a great idea. Your behavior causes things to manifest.
It is a privacy type Firefox, with built in ublock.
It is then easy to add a user-agent-spoofer, yet be careful with add-ons. Easy to use but detrimental to your data.
Searchengines can also be added and deleted. Think searx etc.
Another nice issue is the option to change your DNS and the DNS type. Pref for Https over DNS.
This does influence the results of your search query.
Also, it is recommended to learn about a host-file. Every site has an ip-adress. So instead of using DNS, you can force your linuxbox to obey a command by using the host file which acts as a local DNS. This helps to evade control.
I was just trying to find a way to cast to my friends TV, kek. Y'all acting like I'm pornsurfing. 😬
I ended up just giving up and playing the videos from my tablet and turned on my speaker but I got them to watch the whole Q plan to save the world series and Ot of Shadows. And some other minor videos about Trump and stuff. 👌

I'm glad you said something about a browser cause brave has been rubbing me the wrong way pushing the crypto nft shit.

Also, my "pc" in question is a cintiq companion 2 drawing tablet. I don't want to mess up it's functionality 😬
Yeah..... It seems a dedicated addon device ..... Which I am not very familiar with.
Just use it for what you do: drawing.

I apologize for the confusion. It is not you porn-surfing. It is the big DATA companies high on data-porn-surfing. ;-)
