Starting fresh as a daisy

If you where to buy a new laptop today what would be the first steps you would do to help mask anything you potentially may do on that said machine.
Mainly speaking about communication(ie. email,icq type) and masking ip and so forth.

Decided I rather go about things with less of a imprint and due to laziness on social media front,I believe I have done so.


Heard Tor is no longer safe,whats the new fruit and so on..

Thanks

You should use Tails instead of Ubuntu,Mac , Windows or any other operating system (using it in Live-CD is better because all will be erazed once you take off the USB) , Tor as browser & you shouldn't use your real name in social media websites or anywhere else .
Finally and of course , you shouldn't be using credit cards etc ... and you should use Bitcoin as payment method otherwise  everything will lead back to you .

Any sites that give step by step?
Not savy enough to run down the wrong path.
Meaning I do not want to say leave clues before I am set.
Bitcoin purchases are fine, I do not run anything through a bank.
