My privacy journey -thanks to this and r/privacy sub AND how can I make it better
That's somewhat telling and can be used to "track" you, consider reading on non-Reddit privsec learning resources like Privacy Guides itself which you already know, PrivSec.Dev, madaidan's Insecurities and the like.

super secure phone with vpn
Considering the offer is legitimate (something I won't comment on), you shouldn't do most of these things, in my opinion. Don't mess with what'll be other people's phones. Sell them Pixels pre-installed with GrapheneOS and print papers with Auditor attestation instructions and maybe a few QR codes directing them to relevant documentation and privsec learning resources, such as the GrapheneOS documentation first and foremost, Privacy Guides, madaidan's Insecurities, PrivSec.dev, Seirdy's Home, Wonderfall's Lab, etc...

Why desktop Linux is finally growing in popularity
Not long before malware becomes more prevalent on Linux now that more people are using it. But Linux is not some magic bullet that stops all malware, you have to practice good opsec and harden your environment too. How to do this is outside the scope of my comment. If you are concerned though there are these resources:

Do you perform additional security hardening to Fedora after installation?
Between the Arch wiki on Security and this link alone, there's enough inspiration to harden some stuff.

What can I do to stay safe on my computer considering the current world events?

[Arch Linux] Since Arch is modular, applications like firewall and sandbox or antivirus need to be installed and configured manually. But is it really recommended to have those installed and configured as precautions?
now, if you want a hardened workstation you should check out this -- https://github.com/lfit/itpol/blob/master/linux-workstation-security.md -- mind you, some of the data on here, like browsers and extensions/etc are out-dated but the general premise is pretty solid.

What *general purpose* desktop Linux distros have the best overall security?
The Linux workstation security checklist would be a better recommendation. While also not targeted at home users, it gives at least some priority levels.
