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! 🤍

  1. Install all graphical apps via flatpak
  2. Install other packages within distrobox
  3. Make sure it auto updates
  4. Use selinux

Cinnamon is gtk, right? https://github.com/rafaelmardojai/firefox-gnome-theme

@beta_tester Could you tell me more abt Distrobox and SElinux? I think I never heard of both before

I don't think there's easy access to selinux on mint. It's not listed here https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux

@beta_tester @voxel Mint uses Ubuntu's repositories, it's setup instructions are as such nearly identical

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
