I only got 20, looks like I have a long way to go! This quiz obviously applies to windows. My question: On my laptop I'm running Linux + Mullvad VPN + TOR, am I safe?

Uhhhhh the wrong it is in red, ipconfig/all shows only the network addressing your computer is using at the moment. It in no way gives any indication of any programs running, or if anything but the OS is running.
Today since most everyone is behind a NAT firewall, using private addressing, even that information is completely worthless to any hacker, as it never leaves your network, thus cannot be access from an external network.
To prove the point, here is the output from on the computer I'm on at the moment. There is nothing here that causes me any security concerns, but if you can tell me what programs are running, please do, I'm curious how that works
