How to prevent Linux hacking attempts?


I have a home computer that uses linux, for some reasons my system comes alive, the mouse clicks different apps by itself and the keyboard types cruel sadistic words and called me a shiny bald head.

To remedy this,

1 I checked 'the enable firewall' on my modem router
2 kept switching to different linux distros
3 Change the root password and user password
4 but the problem persist.

My system
1 system crashes, apps won't run.
2 or the x11 hijacking continue,
3 also the hacker could disable my internet connection at times (DDOS?)
4 and even worst, hijack my browser session.

How do I fix this?
