22M, no social life because always paranoid about being hacked?
If you lack any real technical know-how, then look into the basics for securing your primarily used computer. You have a ton of options like proper internet security through ESET. Glasswire is one of my new favorites. There's hardening guides for Windows too.

This covers quite a lot here.

Is Windows Pro significantly better than Windows Home for privacy? (not asking about other systems please)
For a first look into Windows hardening, take a look at https://github.com/beerisgood/Windows11_Hardening . Good luck finding similar security features in Linux. Also recommended reading https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/linux.html.

What can you do to make Windows private/secure? RANT: I am on my *last* straw with Linux
That being said, with the right Windows edition and settings, you can make Windows quite private. Use Windows 11 Enterprise or Education. You can either buy a subscription for it or use an activator like "Massgravel". Be aware that the latter is illegal in most countries, but Microsoft hasn't cared so far. On both editions you can fully deactivate telemetry. Use group policy to do so. Also take care of Cortana. Think about hardening Windows for better security.

Should I set up my own server?
- own server costs about $5/month. I recommend using docker to deploy hbbr and hbbs. Back up the key in case you need to re-deploy. You do need to secure your Linux server, and this community-driven Github guide has some good tips to get started.

Automating the security hardening of a Linux server
I have been using the How To Secure A Linux Server guide for quite a while and wanted to learn Ansible, so I created two playbooks to automate most of the guides content. The playbooks are still a work in progress.

Connecting to docker containers rarely work, including via Caddy (non docker) reverse proxy
If it works, I will then follow the hardening guide I did before (https://github.com/imthenachoman/How-To-Secure-A-Linux-Server) and test after every step

Ask HN: How can a total beginner start with self-hosting
> In short it’s all about control, privacy, and security, in that order.
I am going to strongly urge you to consider changing that order and move *security* to the first priority. I have long run my own servers, it is much easier to setup a server with strong security foundation, than to clean up afterwards.
As a beginner, you should stick to a well known and documented Linux server distribution such as Ubuntu Server LTS or Fedora. Only install the programs you need. Do not install a windowing system on it. Do everything for the server from the command line.
Here are a few blog posts I have bookmarked over the years that I think are geared to beginners:
"My First 5 Minutes On A Server; Or, Essential Security for Linux Servers": An quick walk through of how to do basic server security manually [1]. There was a good Hacker News discussion about this article, most of the response suggests using tools to automate these types of security tasks [2], however the short tutorial will teach you a great deal, and automation mostly only makes sense when you are deploying a number of similar servers. I definitely take a more manual hands-on approach to managing my personal servers compared to the ones I professionally deploy.
"How To Secure A Linux Server": An evolving how-to guide for securing a Linux server that, hopefully, also teaches you a little about security and why it matters. [3]
Both Linode[4] and Digital Ocean[5] have created good sets of Tutorials and documentation that are generally trustworthy and kept up-to-date
Good luck and have fun
