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! 🤍

    Ever wanted to distrohop because of the package manager or repository? Don’t. Just use distrobox https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox

    If you want to keep your system clean, use distrobox. You can install anything within distrobox which does not interfer with your system anymore.

    Install a package for a project and kill the distrobox afterwards.

    You’ve got a setup that you want to share with someone on another distro? Use distrobox.

    It’s like a virtual machine but without the graphical part. It integrates with your base system very well (unlike a vm which is separate).
