I think it's safest to use the default desktop for a distribution because that's the platform which will have received the most testing both by the creators and the users, so will tend to be more stable and have fewer unknown bugs.
I tried one of those. Fairly low resolution but huge screen size for a portable; manual zoom and the other controls are basic but work well, though not when it's windy for some reason. Easy to read in bright sunlight but sadly there's no backlight. Water resistance is poor though I saw someone using one as a makeshift hat in a downpour! Annotations can be made with an ink or graphite stylus. Cut and Paste works but is messy and Copy is quite slow. I've had mine for several weeks and as far as I can tell, it never needs recharging. I can't get the updates to work though.
President Vladimir Putin has signed a bill that prohibits services, including virtual private networks (VPNs), that enable users to skirt government censorship efforts.
That would seem to be covered. Even if the sign up page isn't blocked and they accept payment, paying a foreign company for the service would doubtless invite further criminal charges.
In the UK, we don't need ID to vote - if you're on the electoral register and are eligible you can vote. Registering is compulsory for adults but does expose you to obligations like paying local council taxes so some people don't and are thus disenfranchised.
Any problems with (im)personation or multiple voting appear to be insignificant - there were fewer than 100 criminal instances found in 2016 when around 60 million votes were cast and half those were on the campaign side.
Having people traveling round to vote multiple times seems like a risky and inefficient way of rigging an election. Far better just to hack the voting machines.
Have patience, the investigations into the Trump campaign's collusion with Russia, Russian hacking and attempts to influence the election all continue.

Just because one risk is lower than another doesn't mean it should be disregarded. It reminds me of the argument that a nuclear power plant is safe because it produces the same radiation as the natural background, convenient ignoring the point there's now twice as much radiation.
The smell of pipe tobacco was - still is - for me always more pleasant than the harsher cigarettes. At school in my early teens, someone had pipe tobacco so we bought a pipe to smoke it. We also smoked menthol cigarettes because they were (doubly) cool. This was probably before we knew about lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema etc though at that age I doubt that would have stopped us. I see these as good reasons to ban flavoured tobacco. Menthol cigarettes are being phased out in the EU.
Barclays Bank, one of the biggest in the UK, provides Kaspersky antivirus free to its online banking customers, so it's probably safe. Regardless of the facts, their sales will suffer anyway amongst people uneasy about their closeness to the Kremlin, an inevitable reaction to the Russian state's cyber-pranks.
Only the paranoid would think that a widely installed piece of free software which is automatically updated, just waiting for the day when the special update is sent, would provide a useful cyber weapon.
Kristin Beck, a retired member of the famed Navy Seal Team 6, which carried out the raid the killed Osama bin Laden, spoke out against Trump's announcement as an openly transgender woman.
"I was defending individual liberty," she told Business Insider. "I defended for Republicans. I defended for Democrats. I defended for everyone."
Beck included a message for the president: "Let's meet face to face and you tell me Iâ(TM)m not worthy."
Call me contrary but what has really convinced me of a large-scale Russian state plot to influence the US election are the huge numbers of posts here (and on other social media) denying it, often with obfuscation, half-truths and straight lies.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

I installed Matt Daemon on my Linux box. It's the best protection against spyware.

"printing more money"
Print £500 billion for the banks? No problem, we'll call it Quantitative Easing.
Print £500 billion for the government? Economic madness.

Maybe they used the NSA's top secret quantum unmasking which allows them to see who they're unmasking before they're unmasked?
Hey, watch the language.
How do you know there was no Russian collusion? What special insight do you have which makes you so sure?
Whether it was 17 agencies or only the 3 who looked at it is immaterial to anyone who isn't trying to deflect attention.
Consortiumnews.com? I see where you're coming from.

Never mind about transgender people, when are the armed forces going to end the outrageous discrimination against men with bone spurs on their feet?
There's at least one who would disagree.

Well it's either Spicer, Trump or one of the eight currently anonymous Russians who were in the room.

Here's hoping for a black transgender Doctor next time.
