10 practical tips for securing your Linux Mint system
www.fosslinux.com
While Linux Mint is known for its security features, it is not immune to threats, including malware, viruses, and hackers. It is essential to secure your Linux Mint system to protect critical, personal, and sensitive information from unauthorized access or theft.

Windows refugee here. I’m planning to move to Linux Mint but want to make sure I don’t do something stupid, as I’m unfamiliar with the Linux operating system.

I found this link with 10 tips to secure Mint.

Is this a good list? Anything else I should do to secure a Mint install?

Thanks for helping a noob!

    As I noted in the footnotes of this comment, Qubes OS is technically not a Linux distro as it’s based on Xen instead. But yeah, it’s without a doubt the gold standard when it comes to secure by default desktop operating systems; far surpassing even Kicksecure and secureblue.

    As for Tails, while its amnesiac property is excellent for protection against forensics, it’s not meant as a daily driver for general computing; which was also touched upon in the aforementioned footnotes.
