At this point it not about passive collection, corporations are going to extreme ends to get our data.

I am interested in what people are doing to enforce their privacy while using the web.

I have some things in place, looking to compare with the community.

(btw, I am new here, this is my first post. So uh… Hi )

some Windows usage for some gaming

I game on Debian.

I game on Tumbleweed but on some rare occasions I use windows e.g. my gaming laptop doesn't have Linux.

my gaming laptop doesn't have Linux

Why not?

Haven't actually tried but I have bad experiences with Linux and dual graphics laptops.

Me too. I still can't get the Nvidia card to work on my Acer Nitro 5.

Had to upgrade to a better laptop when Dawntrail released on Final Fantasy XIV.

Don't listen to them. I've tried it and it's full of brain rot, slop, microtransactions, and a lot of inappopriate content. It's not even privacy friendly.

TL;DR:

DON'T

I mean, those are all the things that they want out of a gaming experience.
