    You don’t need a VPN when you use tor. In fact, it’s probably less secure since it’s going through a private server that might have a government black box hooked up. Also, no FBI or CIA agent is ever gonna tell you to use tor???

    get an old dell latitude or thinkpad. They’re good performing laptops for the price you pay (somewhere around 50-100 usd) and the hardware’s old enough that any built in peripherals such as a microphone, webcam, or trackpad should just work. As for a distro, it depends. If you don’t want to learn anything or a bare minimum amount about your computer to use it, use linux mint*. If you want the freedom to turn your desktop into anything you want and don’t mind learning a thing or two, use arch.

    *xfce will perform the best, but any version will work just fine.
