I stopped reading here.


Toooooooooooooooo loooooooooooooooong toooooooooooooo reeeeeeeeeeeeeead.

Are you sure your computer was hacked?

Anyway, here are a few guesses regarding your requests.

Even the TOR browser developers mention that they wouldn't use Firefox
again. OTOH I wouldn't trust the great browser, with the likely good
sandbox. I don't trust some aspects of the companies policy. Yes I'm,
talking about the Google thingy.

Nothing proprietary belongs on a secure PC, let alone that usage of
Adobe software is eminently questionable.

Learn how to verify the ISO!!!

It's a PITA that there are so many download buttons and at best most
people just compare checksums, but without taking care of the signature.

For example, download Ubuntu Studio

and check it like this

The only problem still is

If it's important were you live, you should find a way to get keys that
confirm ownership of other keys.
