This guide sucks. Go to privacytools.io for an actual fucking privacy guide that isn't just an ad for some homophobic shitcoin browser (Brave) or overhyped VPN (express/nord).

ProtonVPN or Mullvad are generally decent enough VPNs. You don't need a VPN 24/7 - I usually only use em for pirating shit, because I'm too cheap to buy a seedbox. Public wi-fi would also be a good place to use a VPN.

Using FreeBSD as your OS is a bad choice, if you want a privacy focused OS use Tails (https://tails.boum.org/) and is very portable, but no files will be saved because the whole OS sits on your RAM. But if you want a more enjoyable experience I’d suggest Ubuntu.

DistroWatch

9 hours ago - It does include a proprietary software set optimized for business users, students, researchers and developers." A list of features and further details can be found in the company's release announcement.

Any Linux based distribution is better than Windows. BSD isnt a beginner level os to my knowledge. Mint, ElementaryOS, FerenOS, ZorinOS are all great and most of them are Ubuntu based. Refer to https://distrochooser.de/en/ and https://distrowatch.com/ . Make sure to choose one with the GRUB boot manager that makes dualbooting Windows 10 much easier.
