Given your scenario your computer is totally compromised, you can't trust it.
The eff has a guide to help you:

What defense is there against NSA tools like Pegasus? I'm not kidding when I say they use my phone as a recorder to capture my interactions in the wild (in addition to having people from fusion centers follow me around.)
if you know your computer and phone are compromised, i would think the solution is obvious, stop using them.
If I get a different device they just compromise that too. What defense is their against the NSA?
In your scenario any device you get is compromised when its linked to you.... don't get a device, and don't link it to yourself
