How should I avoid being hacked

Hardly a day goes by without hearing wails from somebody about their gmail being hacked so I'm wondering what else I should do to avoid it myself.

My O/S is Linux.

My gmail passwd is complicated and not used for anything else whatsoever.

I don't trust the cloud for ANYTHING, esp. my passwords. I do my own backups and use an encrypted password database.

And I'll doublecheck anything anybody tells me because it occurs to me that overtrusting anything I see here would be a great way to GET hacked. :)
