Still remember, every tiny step towards privacy and security matters. It sounds retarded if you use Windows 11, Steam and only change from Brave to Librewolf, but it helps. If you switch to Linux but still use Steam, it still helps. If you fear wifi 3D scan technology and devices that can listen you from far away, it still helps if you don't have internet connected proprietary camera system inside of your house.
Don't stress about it. Also, have fun. Try Qubes OS just for fun. Maybe check if you can install OpenWRT and if you are ok with it, try buying used supported router and install LibreCMC. Yes, even that certified "Free" LibreCMC router has proprietary firmware blobs, but eating as little shit as possible always helps even if these steps feel tiny and useless.
