A list for normal users: - don't delay updates - use Firefox tab containers to isolate browsing contexts so a random page can't mess with your gmail session (not sure if Chrome has something similar) - have backups and check they work - use 2fa where possible - if you use SSH, move your key to a hardware token

Also:

- set up full disk encryption

- set a boot up (BIOS) password

- for ssh: disable root ssh access, and disable ssh with a password

- lock screen when away from computer, auto-lock when away
