Hey 👋 dear Linux Community,

I'm still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I'm pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).

Thx! 🤍

@voxel @linux idk, turn on a firewall and run a clamav scan once in awhile. I know that linux malware is pretty rare, but I think it doesn't hurt to run a scan. Of course you could do some hardening, but for a new user I'd say do this at your own risk. https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/guides/linux-hardening.html
