i’m brand new to linux after decades of windows. is there a comprehensive resource that talks about security on linux beyond just “linux is super secure don’t worry about it”? i feel like the more people continue to ditch windows, the more scammers are going to focus their energy on linux, and i know next to nothing
That’s a lot of advanced shit, which can totally bork a system.
What average user paths can we take program wise or etc?
Like a Linux mint user for instance who’s first stop is diving into a Linux distro of their choice and wanting to gain 80 percent of the gains with 20 percent of the hassle and maintenance.
Basic internet precautions: if you’re looking at a GitHub for a famous piece of software that has only 250 total downloads: double check the Url, read any commands before you run them and compare to documentation if you’re unfamiliar with a piece of one, if you run something in docker or similar containerization for any reason make sure you set the PUID and GUID of the containers to a user other than root or they’ll be root by default
