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.

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.

And the best part is there are solutions already that do this: https://keepass.info/
Does it work on Android or iOS?

Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine
When you're at a point where you're relying on a display name to make security-critical decisions, you've already lost.
Character substitutions like ķeepass or ƙeepass or keypass are at least possible to spot if you know the name of the product, but not the full URL.
But there are many ways to create lookalike domains that don't change the product name: https://keepass.org https://keepass.net https://keepass.info https://keepass.cx https://keepassxc.org https://keepass-info.net https://keepass-manager.com
Which of these is the correct one? (It's https://keepassxc.org of course, but just looking at the URL won't tell you that.)
The root cause is downloading software you see advertised on Google even though that does not in any way establish trustworthiness.

Google announces passwordless by default: Make the switch to passkeys
> People love to hate on passwords but the reality is that for many circumstances (threat models) they are the best compromise. You can make them more than strong enough (take 32+ bytes out of /dev/random and encode however you like, nobody will ever brute force that in this universe) and various passwords managers solve the problem of re-use (never reuse a password).
> And it comes with the benefit that you control how it is stored and can apply as much redundancy as you want to feel comfortable.
Honestly, I agree! I used KeePass back in the day (https://keepass.info/) but now use KeePassXC (https://keepassxc.org/) and it's really nice - I don't know any of my passwords because they're all randomly generated and are pretty secure. The only one I have to remember is my main password for decrypting the safe, which I also wrote down and entrusted to someone close to me due to its complexity.
It honestly works great, software to interact with the password safe is on every platform where I need it to be, in addition to it being super easy to reason about storage, because it's basically just a file - that I can then put on self-hosted Nextcloud, or another solution like that, or USB sticks or burn to CDs for all I care.
Maybe I should also migrate all of my TOTP stuff over to it and look into good Android apps at some point, then I wouldn't quite need Google Authenticator or FreeOTP anymore, either.

If you cannot download any books, then you’re on one of the scam sites
If you have used this combo at many sites (which is of course not recommended) then download one of the available free Password Managers like Keepass, Bitwarden, Lastpass or any others you can find with a Google Search

Your privacy is optional
I also tried out KeePass for a little bit but prefer the BitWarden apps. The key thing here is don't store your passwords in the cloud as they are massive target for hackers.

Best AUTOFILL plugin?
There are various Keepass add-ons, but I prefer the standalone version.

My privacy journey -thanks to this and r/privacy sub AND how can I make it better
If though you can't stand the idea of your password vault on a 3rd party server then you can use an offline password manager like KeePass. Of course, you have to take responsibility for making and storing backups of your vault in case something happens to your device. Fortunately, Syncthing can make this pretty trivial.
