I guess linux has more docummentation, but thats also nice option, is performace on bsd better than linux?

I would wipe the disk so theres no shady things, depending on what games u play, i would install linux and use encryption if you would take this laptop to public places. Performance on linux will be much smoother. I recommend endeavouros.
EDIT: also reinstall bios/uefi firmware would be nice, probably not but there might be some spying?
i love bsd vibes but i would have to spend so much time when i just wanna do my work, i think you know ;) Void linux was little bit too much for me so i cant imagine openbsd, actually im trying artix and i love some bsd-like things like doas instead of sudo, something other than NetworkManager, seatd turnstile acpid dinit runit etc...
I have it on grapheneos in vpn mode with kill switch so if invizible is off i have no internet connection, for tor u can choose countrys close to u for entry and exit nodes, choose like 5 countries? I have i2p off because it sliws me down and i think its mainly for i2p sites connection. For dns choose servers which seems nice for u. I use adguard and quad9, also for dns i checked "require no log". Block http is also good, rogue dhcp detection. Thats most of settings i changed.
I had similar problem. I started with fl studio and then changed windows to linux and tried so hard to make fl work on arch, but it was too glitchy. I tried alot: ardour, tracktion waveform, bitwig demo and almost every foss daw and ended at reaper, when u understand it is kinda better than fl, u can make really heavy customization, dont like 1 click note insert? Change it in preferences to what u like, its the same problem with every program, start learning and u will find it easy and fun to use, for plugins as some other people in this comment section said, yabridge, i use amplitube 5 for guitar with it.
i dont know if it will be safe because of ROOT_PASSWORD USER_PASSWORD and ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD
