So, I just got a new laptop with Windows 10, and as you would expect, it's about as secure as a sieve is watertight
I'm not going to lie, I know next to nothing about Linux/GNU. I was thinking of running something like TAILS for more sensitive things, but I've heard both good and bad things about it.
Is TAILS a good starting point? Is there something better out there that I should look into instead?
Any feedback is appreciated

Don't start with tails. For a secure OS I would try Qubes but because both are pretty advanced, I would look elsewhere. If you really don't know what you are doing unbuntu has great support and works out of box. If you want to get your hands dirty, try debian.

I think I'll stay away from Debian for the time being
Is there anything wrong with tails, or is it just too complicated for starting with it?

You don't mind that it's not persistent and that all your traffic will go through Tor?

That's kind of the idea

I'll most likely dual boot with Ubuntu, but there are some places where I'd prefer tails

Retard.

play with ubuntu for a few months
learn about babby-tier linux shit
then play with debian
learn more advanced things
then use arch and learn about the nitty-gritty, pick up a few programming languages
then use gentoo and start learning more lower level programming
then use LFS
once you've become an expert, modify the linux kernel for your own needs and then make your own userspace etc, write your own drivers, etc etc etc
that's really the only way to be secure

Thanks for not mocking me due to my lack of skill
Guess I better start learning about programming
