Do you use a password manager?

Interesting new product was just released called Seedkeeper Ring and that can be used as a password manager.
It can also be used for storing encrypted seedphrases.

Which Linux distro would you recommend that has highest security possible and do you suggest dual booting or booting through pen drive? I am looking to purchase gaming laptop, and I'd require windows to play games of course but for crypto stuff, I'd prefer Linux.

I don't know, probably Tails OS on USB stick is better option for privacy.
As for standard Linux OS you need to try them to see what fits you better, but for me Fedors is the best and most serious linux OS.

You wont get a virus by watching instagram or tiktok videos.

However, you can click in a malicius link from an instagram account, click something wrong and then boooom.

It just takes one mistake to lose your funds.

I had an experience a few months ago, and it was a very funny one, though, and how it occurred is what I am trying to understand till this moment because it looks like a potential threat to my device. I was watching video and it happens that it was when I was about tapping the screen to activate a command that was when an add popped up and it happened like I clicked the ads and it was just loading and loading without stopping and immediately I had too forcefully switch of my phone to forstall any further actions or command prompt it would activate so it doesn't cause harm to my phone and the funny thing is that I did not really see what I clicked and it just happened like that. That was how I escaped what I had no idea about, and I still could not explain what I clicked then till this very moment.

Depending on which sites you visit, they may load scripts (which could be malicious or not) from adware, then display fake antivirus ads with urgent call-to-action messages designed to trigger people's fear responses.

You really have to be careful with this kind of thing. My grams recently had her mobile device compromised this exact way. We took it to a repair shop, but just days later, the phone showed the same problem again... She will have to buy another smartphone.

After I switched off my phone I let it remain off for a while before I put it on so nothing happens. But I became curious how it happened if it was a time prompt action or a kind of  a digital reflex action or something as I still don't understand yet. Ever since then I became extra careful of clicking while watching a movie in my phone.

I have also disabled ads on my phone after that experience as I don't want to take chances anymore as it is very risky.

I've been using Linux Ubuntu for everything for about 7 years. I don't use it to play games, because I don't play on the computer.
I use it on a computer with Windows (dualboot).
I once installed Linux Mint and didn't have a good experience. Another distro I've tried is Xubuntu.

Interesting, is there any way I can export to another password manager (in case the software disappears)?

I don't know, probably Tails OS on USB stick is better option for privacy.

I forgot to mention Tails OS which is also great for privacy and offline wallets like electrum and sparrow.

I just use ublock in my Firefox app in the phone.

Even YouTube videos are ad free with it (not in YouTube app, but in the Firefox app)

Thank you for this recommendation. I will try this feature and see how it goes. Ads are now something else, and that is what scammers and hackers use to get their victims, because they believe people would not be bothered, as they would be thinking ads are the least expected medium through which hackers can infiltrate people's privacy through just a click.
