  What is your threat model like ? Who are you intending to guard yourself against ?

  Is it an assembled PC or a pre-built ? Pre-builts may come with some form of tracking. OS support also may be a concern on some pre-builts.

  Maybe something like Debian 12 testing might be a good Linux option to consider, of course Windows or Mac are not recommended for the privacy conscious amongst us. Debian is not the most user friendly to get installer image of, but it has a fairly straightforward GUI based setup for a fresh install.

  In case Windows is a requirement then probably look into the Tron script, helps automate a lot of things you might need as privacy settings (among other actions performed by the script).

  That is the case with me as well for Netflix, I just use it to browse anything interesting, and then proceed to pirate it.

  Disney+ has got such shoddy servers in my country that I am having to deal with pixelated content or poor audio or both even on such high broadband speeds and only my devices on the network… and it gives ads (banners, before the start of a video, in between videos, the entire 9 yards of ad integration) even tho it’s a paid account.
