Your concerns are valid.

In my opinion the easiest solution, if you don't know what youre doing (or dont wanna care) would be to use exclusively an immutable distro. That would lock you out of tweaking the system, but also heavily limit any potential malware. This should be sufficient imo:

  • keep system up to date
  • dont run programs or commands from unofficial channels
  • have firewall enabled and running
  • make offline backups of user files
  • use immutable distro
  • source
  •  

    Do you know about a private customizable search engine? I would like to hint the search engine about what search results I like without specifying them on every single query.

    For instance when need to search up some programming documentation almost always there are some blogs in the search results meanwhile I'm always looking for the official documentation. I want to go to settings and specify something like

    + official documentation
    - blog
    

    and every single time I search something up I get less noise. Also being able to block some domains like

    geekforgeeks.org
    learn.microsoft.com
    

    would also be nice. In case I get annoyed by some domain that have a lot of ads and information at the very bottom.
