Hi there,

Win10 is soon not supported. Tbh Linux have been on my radar since I started to break from the US big tech.

But how is security handled in Linux? Linux is pretty open-source, or am I not understanding it correctly. So how can I as a new user make sure to have the most secure machine as possible?

    Firstly, LUKS is under “physical disk for encryption” which is a stupid and confusing name.

    Secondly, if you want to dual-boot with LUKS you need to manually configure the partitions.

    Thirdly, as with all LUKS encrypted Linux distros you need a seperate EFI, boot, and root partition.

      I don’t dual boot, so I guess there is that. But everything else seems very confusing. All other installers say, do you want this encrypted? You click yes. And that’s it.

        TBH I’ve installed Mint, Kubuntu, and OpenSUSE and I don’t remember which ones had which issues. I think they’re all Mint but maybe not.
