Just buy a tesla and a smartphone. Those are the spy machines described in the book. The difference is that the 1984 government had to hide that stuff in your house and now, people even pay for them.
On that note, what Linux distro are best for privacy?
Funnily enough, GrapheneOS Android.
All popular general purpose Linux Desktop distros suck in terms of privacy and security out of the box. It is possible to configure stuff like SELinux but that is very far above what even a competent Linux user is able to do properly.
Tails and QubesOS are amazing in terms of security and privacy, but their lack of general usability means very few people are going to use them day to day.
GrapheneOS has a mix of security, privacy and usability that makes it attractive choice for anyone somewhat competent with technology and caring for privacy.
Depends on your opsec scope and use case. It also depends on the software you are running ontop like your browser or other services that probably have even more data on you.

Honestly don’t do anything you wouldn’t want a fascism regime knowing about on any PC running Windows or MacOS or any smart phone.

Admittedly I’m not keeping up on this, so maybe outdated but it used to be Tails.
Kali took Tails’ place a few years back, I think.
Kali was more for pen testing, hacking. Tails was a live disc that defaulted to tor and other privacy focused use.
True.
