Thanks for the tips. I did some got training a few months ago but hadn’t considered using it for Linux configs.

That is good advice.

Thank you for your advice. I will take it. As a beginner, I’ll start with Mint.

Would your reccomend any other secure distro for the future?

Thanks for the reply. I’m fairy average Joe. I’ll mainly use this machine for downloading files and general browsing. I don’t have any personal files or accounts on that device.

I’m mainly concerned with neglecting to enable (or disabling) something critical or accidentally downloading something malicious (although this hasn’t happened for many many years).

Thanks!

Thanks. I take it that software centre is like a Linux app store?

I need visio. Is there an open source or paid alternative that works on Linux?

I though the use case was that these reactors can be mass produced in a factory and not require large scale infrastructure projects?

I appreciate this hasn’t been proven but comparing apples with oranges seems odd.
