Im using framework. my home networks isnt safe (it belongs to my family and google) and i would like to use the internet in public uncensored. someone also has a virus (they will not remove it dont ask why i do not know either) I know qubes is for security but Tails isnt for me. any reasonable ways to make Qubes private in my situation?

btw heres why i want security/privacy (i dont know my terminology)

I will be opening risky files and pirating

Don't like survillence policing/capitalism or censorship

Will be reading political things but dont want to be manipulated by my views

Love disposable identities that are hard to connect together

just for clarity, you mean system accounts or accounts on a website?

    system accounts

    or even better, fire up a disposable VM

    Yes, operating system accounts. And a good follow-up step is to check whether that account is really unable to read the files from other accounts. Sometimes Linux distributions come with weird default settings, I think Debian allows read access to files per default. I'm not 100% sure.

    Virtual machines are way better at isolating stuff. Downside might be some extra effort to set them up, and maybe some fiddling with the graphics card.
