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!

    Mint is fairly secure by default.

    That said, nothing listed in the article is bad for your security, all pieces of advice do make sense in certain scenarios, but this is generally considered an overkill for home use.

    If you’re an average user, don’t bother yourself with it.
