a) physical security?
b) local system security (eg multiple users on same box)?
c) remote security? how do you connect to the internet?
d) how sensitive is the information you are protecting, and how
valuable?

If its a home system, behind a NAT router, and you are not running any
remote services that are reachable from the internet, and your local
and LAN users, are really trusted by you, all you have to do is keep
your system updated, only use applications from trusted sources, and
use strong passwords for everything. That'll cover 99+% of mischief.
