The most secure and anonymous Linux distribution is often considered to be Tails, designed for privacy and anonymity.

Keep in mind that privacy isn't limited to the operating system. Your online activity, visited websites, chosen usernames, and typing style can all help identify you. To remain anonymous, you must alter yourself significantly.
I enjoy Windows because of its strong security options and private features. The browsers support incognito mode, and BitLocker provides excellent protection for your data.
Additionally, Windows transmits significant amounts of data to Microsoft. Browsers such as Google Chrome send information about your activity in incognito mode back to them. They only retain what you visited privately from other users on the device. Your Internet Service Provider can track which websites you accessed, when and for how long, and the sites you visit can reveal your IP address, linking it back to you. It's not completely anonymous.
I want visibility online without becoming invisible. I prefer not to be treated like an object. I’ve configured Ubuntu so I can adjust proxy settings for apps or networks and maintain that control. This method doesn’t work in the terminal—use Torify as a wrapper, or run `sudo apt update` with Torify.
Ensure a DNS service is ready, since otherwise systemd will check the Google DNS (on Ubuntu 16.04 or newer)
I found Qubes-OS fascinating after exploring it. I've used virtual machines on Mint for quite some time, keeping separate VMs for various tasks without fancy firewalls or Tor setups. It's surprising how much there is out there for VM management! I think I might move to Qubes soon, as long as it fits my setup and works smoothly.
