That’s a good place to start. An extra step might be to use devices from places that come with Linux, like purism or for OS maybe use Qubes OS. Monero might also be a a good option.
Do you mean devices that have Linux installed by default?
Is there a mobile or tablet like that?
Yup - just for example check these out:

https://puri.sm/
Not sure about tablets but a lot humans like Graphene OS for byod. Hope this helps
32-41 is a repeat.
Good list. I’ll work through it. Thanks for putting this together.
- Does 19 work with 8?
- I heard 10 doesn’t have any effect, why do you suggest?
