I found that Arch worked the best for me as my main OS, been using it for around 3 years. True that sometimes it's a pain to set things up, but once it's done, life's just so easy!! Though, I use debian on my server.

Cryptography. It just fascinates me and I constantly want to know more about it.
But do you use Arch btw?
Idk if this is what you're looking for but might be worth taking a look

"Your ISP is most likely tracking your browsing habits and selling them to marketing agencies (albeit anonymised). Or worse, making your browsing history available to law enforcement at the hint of a Subpoena. Needl will generate random Internet traffic in an attempt to conceal your legitimate traffic, essentially making your data the Needle in the haystack and thus harder to find. The goal is to make it harder for your ISP, government, etc to track your browsing history and habits."

That's not a problem, that's a privilege very few people get to enjoy. Fuсk social media and fuсk Facebook in particular.
I just recently learned that cryptography was heavily regulated, in the US at least. What I mean to say is that in the older days (80's - 90's) it was illegal to export any encryption system out of the country. This was mainly due to concerns about the potential for these technologies to be used by adversaries to encrypt communications that could not be intercepted by intelligence agencies.
Obviously, cryptography is valuable, however it was unexpected to read about all the regulations in place regarding this subject, though, now I think it makes sense.
