I've been messing around on PC since the Counterstrike days in highschool. For gaming i never owned a console, was always into custom PC. I always enjoy learning new things regarding research, new hardware.
On GAW I have learned how to archive, meme, scrutinize more strictly and find better primary sources among many other things. I would like to learn more from my brethren here.
I will share a few. Keyboard shortcut basics:

We are all thirsty for knowledge!
If you want to go hard-core use an O/S like kali linux.
On top of that, buy an online server with bitcoin and run your own vpn server, make sure the logs from such are sent to null0.
Use your own firewall/router at home (between your machine and your provider's router) learn how to use it. You can run a vpn between your firewall and your own vpn server, that way you won't forget to turn your vpn on (it will also cover other devices on your network).
There's a lot more, but there are plenty of guides if you look.
Honestly Kali is more for pentesting but if you really want to be fully incognito online, use Tails on an USB stick.
I'm a bit out of touch to be honest, I thought Kali was a more recent update of Tails. I would have mentioned it if not for thinking that.
Yeah you're good. I believe Kali is a fork of Tails but with pentesting capabilities like Metasploit, Splunk and many more.
Tails comes with the TOR browser (TOR = The Onion Router) and have a lot of tips telling you how to remain anonymous i.e. do not maximize your browser, do not copy and paste, do not transfer files between Tails and your personal computer, etc. All of that can trail back to your real identity, even if it's very minimal. Tails is also lightweight.
Do not maximize your browser. Really? What is the risk
