I don't like flash and I'm scared of using it, I only use flash in a linux VM, I figure if someone is going to use a flash exploit it's going to target windows so that's why I use a linux VM, and VM is used to protect my main OS
Well, the NSA already has exploits in Windows that they currently use, so I suggest switching to Linux as your main OS if you're that paranoid.
Linux is the most widely used kernel/os-base in the world. A better choice for government paranoia would be OpenBSD, or, better yet, a small community OS like Sortix (https://sortix.org) or even something non-POSIX like Menuet OS (http://www.menuetos.net). Or the best option, write your own.
Here's a little known fact: lntel CPUs have built in 3g modems, if the NSA has a hardware backdoor, they already have internet built-in. I guess you should go with AMD... Actually, you might wanna go with something less complex, a RISC architecture... The common choice would be an ARM processor, but those are so common, if the NSA has backdoored Intel processors, how do we know that they wouldn't backdoor one of the most used architectures on earth? I guess that leaves you with SPARC, but why go with something closed anyway, how'd you know if it was backdoored? I guess you can go and use OpenRISC or RISC-V, but that leaves you with only one low-power chip...
This could go on for a while... The point is that one can always be more paranoid, and at some point it becomes impractical. Where that point is, is your decision.
