>>1197589none of what you asked has anything to do with your new laptop except for the OS which ofcourse is windows by default for gaming.
>inb4 linux gaming yes i know but op couldnt chmod his installer since he doesnt even differentiate search engines from browsers
here is the best advice you will get without being called a retard too much
>browseruse whatever you like most, youre obviously not a poweruser with preferences toward anything browser related
>email again, whatever you like most. for my real emails i use gmail and outlook. if you wanna feel like youre above others by using a "safe" mail use Tutanota.
>antivirusthe built in Microsoft Defender is extremely good, and it is fully integrated into the operating system. Use it and whatever you do DO NOT INSTALL anything alongside it.
>officeIf you dont wanna deal with MS account keep using Libre, its excellent and better than ApacheOffice.
>compiler/decompilerA compiler is software that translates high level code into low level machine instructions.
>i use winrarits a great archiving tool, i use it too on windows. keep using it its the best
>torrent clientqbittorrent is my first choice always. its lightweight and just works, with no bloat shit.
>vpnwhat for? the best free ones are most often the best paid ones too. you could debate a lot about vpns but "who doesnt track me hurr durr" is mostly bullshit, they all track you and if you plan on doing anything illegal you should be able to cover for yourself well enough.
just use the free versions or nord/proton/openvpn or my personal favourite-tunnelbear.
>redpill me on cookiesnothing to be redpilled on.
>explain cookies to meis what you were asking. here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie>adblockexcellent, if youre used to it just keep using it.
>bluestacks what for exactly? not a poweruser, want it to just work.if you like it use it.
>vbox excellent choice. keep using it
also kys retard for being fucking dumb nothing can fix you
