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! 🤍

As other have mentioned, setting up Timeshift + a firewall is a good start. I’m 99% sure that LM guides you through both of these processes on first boot, but it’s a good thing to check on anyways. LM is pretty sanely put together out of the box, so I’d honestly just recommend you use it as-is and tweak things when/if you run into something that isn’t doing it for you.
Other than that, welcome to the party!
