Just buy a tesla and a smartphone. Those are the spy machines described in the book. The difference is that the 1984 government had to hide that stuff in your house and now, people even pay for them.

Honestly don't do anything you wouldn't want a fascism regime knowing about on any PC running Windows or MacOS or any smart phone.

On that note, what Linux distro are best for privacy?

Admittedly I'm not keeping up on this, so maybe outdated but it used to be Tails.

Kali took Tails' place a few years back, I think.

Kali was more for pen testing, hacking. Tails was a live disc that defaulted to tor and other privacy focused use.

Depends on your opsec scope and use case. It also depends on the software you are running ontop like your browser or other services that probably have even more data on you.
