how can i link my electrum to bitcoind if they are on the same computer?
Follow the instructions on Electrum Personal Server. Don't let the word "server" deter you. Often this can mean "open a localhost http port". Assuming you have enough privledge on your PC to bind a TCP/IP port, you should be fine.

Is there any way to not dox al your addresses without running your own node?
There are some server implementations that make use of XPUBs. For instance, Electrum Private Server is an implementation that must be configured with XPUBs of all wallets you want to use with it, so it can scan the blockchain for them, in return for much lower resource usage than regular servers that have to index the necessary information of every transaction ever made. But EPS is only suitable for private use, hence the name.

New to crypto
(A) Link it to your own Bitcoin Core node. You will need a little indexer called Electrum Private Server. https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server/releases . Once you do that, you won't have to ask any other Bitcoin node for transaction history or to broadcast your transactions. You become your own bank, literally.

Well known LN node to connect to?
lnbits.com or getalby.com allow you to use BlueWallet lightning wallet interface. They are custodial, so you could always use a different custodial lightning wallet or a non-custodial one instead.

Running a BTC node (Citadel) - now what?
Or you can run a Lightning node on top, like LND or clightning to make instant payments with low fees. Then you can setup LNbits (https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits) on top and do all sorts of nice things with Lightning.

German bakery accepting Bitcoin over the Lightning network. Zero fees for processing the transaction. No dirty fiat money. Paying with the speed of light. Adoption is coming! Stack sats.
Very inexpensive to buy (or make yourself!) link and run of of LNBits software with LNUrlPoS extension
You can get it at https://shop.lnbits.com/ and easily run it with the open source lightning extension LnBits . It's awesome because it doesn't even have to be online to receive lightning or onchain payments.
