New at learning about online security, so what's the best vpn/ way to stay anonymous online?

there's no vpn, only other people's pc.

And you have to decide which PC you trust

There are tons of VPN providers with different prices, features and security. However, you can get misinformation and see paid reviews almost everywhere, so I would be careful where to research

How do you even get started researching then?

https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/ is a good place to start, majority of /g/ trusts it and the chart is very detailed.
However it can be overwhelming which aspects are important and what are just paranoia. Just research stuff that you don't understand from the chart and also how a VPN works, so you understand the context

>anonymity

Tor by itself will obfuscate who you are but you can have your traffic read by the end node and anyone running a tor VPN probably isn't the kind of person you want seeing your traffic.
Connecting a VPN to tor just adds one hop with the place most likely to comply with federal demands.
Tunnel the VPN through tor and you sidestep the tor endpoint and can potentially have a secure connection to the other end through an untrusted network. Literally what a VPN is made to do. Now if the feds serve the VPN they don't have logs of your box only the tor endpoints you connected from.
