There will be your internet-connected computer which will be assumed to be compromised, & which little, if anything of use will be kept on, & then there will be the airgapped system you do work on, which will probably be the last trusted version of a Linux distro you have multiple copies stashed away of. It will be a very old-fashioned experience, & moving/sharing data will become a dicey business.

An airgapped system to be used just outside of the FOV of the government thin client's camera, with a hair glued to the power button to detect covert physical intrusions in the owner's absence.

In which book did I encounter a similar setup? Let me recall..
