Hi there,
Win10 is soon not supported. Tbh Linux have been on my radar since I started to break from the US big tech.
But how is security handled in Linux? Linux is pretty open-source, or am I not understanding it correctly. So how can I as a new user make sure to have the most secure machine as possible?
Why not? You (usually) just click the check box during install, and you have 1 extra password when you boot up your system. Doesn’t seem too hard but I might be missing something.
It’s surprisingly annoying trying to configure LUKS full disk encryption. I had to look up instructions many times over on Mint.
when you fuck shit up you can’t really easily boot in from a usb drive and learn the recovery process
Better to lose the data than have it stolen.
It’s a few extra steps to start fixing, but it’s still definitely possible once you get the crypto device mapper.
