Grats on Arch Linux install, S-tier distro for what it attempts to accomplish.
It feels like there needs to be a category in between conservative and paranoid. I'm probably 90% of the way over to tech paranoid but using Tor Browser and Tails is a little much.
Also the middle should be called Tech Centrist or Tech Social Democrat, daring to use the projects from philosophical minorities is not conservative at all.
Conservative means "not extreme"
E.g. conservative estimates
Words can have multiple meanings - it might be best to find one that doesn't have the same baggage that conservative has, such as "risk-averse"
Not extreme is rather moderate. Conservative estimate means there's a tendency to not change what was estimated in the past. Moderate would mean that a small change would be accepted.
