I don't know to use Windows group policies!
It`s better to use a baseline someone else made. Try only enabling the privacy ones from this one? https://github.com/troennes/private-secure-windows

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.
- Glasswire + MS ATP or ESET?
