Hi Sup Forumsoys. I'm installing Antergos on my computer and Mint on my wife's (DEs are between Xcfe and KDE for mine, KDE and GNOME for my wife's). The issue I'm having to go through without scouring a million goruns and YT vids is what is your consensus to hardening our systems respectively and, especially for mine (cuz she's on Faceberg so it'd be a moot effort), what do I need to uninstall to out of botnet/ security risk? I've heard people talk about LightDM I think it's called and a few others, so just gimme the.. Ahem... > quick > rundown
Get her a macbook and keep your paranoid autism to BSD

You may start by purging systemd from your system.

I've heard it's a complete bane. Care to elaborate in Sup Forums-Linux newfag terms?

If you want to be super secure, but don't want to cripple yourself then qubes-os.org is your best choice.

> downloaded the iso months ago > too scared to install it bc I know next to nothing about it Idek if it's Linux based, I literally saw it in passing and downloaded it just to remind myself to look into it eventually. What are your beefs with it for gayming, programming, browseing, streaming, rendering, etc?

You can run a full Windows 10 install on it. QubesOS is basically a framework where you have different compartments for different things. One instance for Windows gaming, one instance for Linux gaming, one instance for torrenting stuff, one instance for buying stuff online and they can't interact with eachother. So if you install some malware on your windows partition then it can't find your credit card number because it has no access to the "internet shopping" part of your computer or your "banking" part. The only thing connecting them together is QubesOS but none of them can communicate back.
So its just a virtual machine OS? It just partitions everything? That sounds extremely useful and makes me think why more cia paranoia autists don't use it if you can run multiple instances of multiple OSs simultaneously so to speak

Yes, that is what it does, but it simplifies everything. It's much less of a pain than doing it in the conventional way and everything is color coded and marked properly and each have their own connection so one can run Tor completely while another part just has a normal internet connection.
>makes me think why more cia paranoia autists don't use it Snowden uses it apparently, it's used by people who are a bit paranoid. But it also requires more technical skill than just using tails for example.

Is Thunderbird worth using for email and rss?

There are literally NIST, NSA etc standards for hardening your OS. Microsoft even provides auto-harden group policy scripts
