@const_void It's not about choosing distros in anyway, please read the post before you comment. 🙄

@CrabAndBroom Thank you, but I already covered this 😅 When you check my profile, you will see thats exactly the stuff I'm dealing with day by day, but ty! I may will take a look at OpenSnitch, but I think Portmaster is already covering this need.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

@Corb_The_Lesser @linux Oh. Thank you a lot! Never discovered this lol

@keydelk @linux Hm, ig I will stick to Cinnamon, I don't want to run into issues, using another environment which got discontinued by Linux Mint a few years before for some reasons.

Abt the browser and content blocking, is already done ;) Privacy and Security is one of the things I'm very good at, just wanted to know how to enchance the security of Linux Mint.

Btw. I would recommend uBlock Origin instead of ADP is leightweighter, customizable, opensource, non-commercial and pretty well. Since ADP had some controversies in the past.

@Corb_The_Lesser @linux

I'm pretty happy with Linux Mint so far, never tried Fedora, but I will take a look on it

If you use touchpad gestures, the new configuration options are useful.

Where can I find them?

@MuffinJets @linux Oh sorry, forgot to mention it, I'm using Cinnamon since I liked it the most

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! 🤍

Did you know..?

DuckDuckGo has two non-javascript versions of their search engine and both of them are very lightweight, especially the lite version.

You can access them via:

Good news! Brave for Android now let's u use your favorite uBlock Origin Blocklists!

Under Settings > Brave Shields & privacy

Can you now add custom filterlists and edit Brave's default selection of the already avaible filterlists. Some of you now that this was possible before too (via brave://adblock) but at this time it had no UI and wasn't a official feature, now you can easily add, remove and customize fiterlists via the the settings.

Warning to all Brave Browser Users

Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave's functionalities. For me did Brave's "forgetful browsing" feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

Say (an encrypted) hello to a more private internet.

Nothing big, but kinda interesting. I'm excited to see how this will go 👀

Bounce Tracking

I heard of this methode of Tracking before, but never knew that this was it's name, anyway. As I searched for it, I found this article from Brave which gives a very easy to understand explanation of Bounce Tracking, I recommend reading it.
