If you don’t know the zypper commands just go into the GUI Yast Software tool, click on the various heading drop downs.
Under Options drop-down you can check the option “Cleanup when deleting packages”
Under View filter you can select Uneeded Packages, click to uncheck the boxes of what shows up and Apply.
Also these are handy sheets.

Gnome keyring should remember your partitions that have password encryption, there is a setting to unlock gnome keys with login. If you mean before login then cryptab and fstab can be set to password unlock. Unless I am misunderstanding the usecase you want.
The irony is Facebook contributes to opensource linux, heavily for btrfs which they use for certain data storage.
Security threat to the US Fascist Government maybe. Maybe coinicdence that it was near Jan 20th. Maybe I am looking to deep but looks like USA is trying to be North Korea or China . Use Windows face recognition and telemetry to to track users, censor alternative OSs from public knowledge.
If you can’t do full keto, skip rice and use lentils. They have a lot of fibre and protein. They will make you feel full the next day also due to fiber. Some are 20% protein but the ones I can get locally are 30% protein. For us the brown ones are a substitute for dishes that want ground beef. Like a meatloaf, or chilli. The red ones break down nicely in a thickened soups and stews.
You can get lentil flour from Indian stores, for trying out recipes that ask for wheat flour. Takes some adjusting.
Does Mint have Apparmor installed?
It is default on OpenSUSE. When you add a new application you start apparmor, run your application through its normal use, it “learns” how the system is used by the app, you then apply this as an enforce option or warn option. If the app deviates it gets blocked or warning generated.
Also OpenSUSE has a hardening GUI that looks at your system and configs and lists out all the areas that pass, fail or need attention. It is a great visual tool, and gives explanations/suggestions. Maybe there is Mint package that emulates this. Yast Security Center (see image)
