Funny ..not long time ago I read here that there is best init system. No such thing exist unless this is personal choice then obviously there is best OS, best DE/WM and so on. Regarding the link provided by OP. I think that Acitities are half baked. At least in the current iteration. Activities...

Naked Tor will raise red flags. Either run Tor within VPN or use chained VPN. Sane VPN works just fine if user know how to make it inconspicuous. Same thing with browsers. Whatever works and makes you happy. Here is a map of corporate, paid affiliates and legal problems...

You can search cve repository. This is just an example: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-45485

I don't need typerwiter, I am using VPN and do not plan to stop using it. VPS with configured VPN for anonymity does not work. As the address is easily identifiable. It is simple to set up VM and enable VPN as VM network as in the case of android is not vulnerable to the attack. Or disable VPN...

so, I understand that ssh should be avoided too as it had a security hole not patched for several years... :) The whole point of using VPN is either secure intra company traffic or anonymity where one selects a server with maximum number of users sharing same dynamic IP address. When one chains...

You can configure zswap. This way you do 't have to increase existing swap size. You can also try zram.

I think that one can install uBlock origin and this may solve adds problem too. I don't see adds on youtube or anywhere else.

I would set up server this way: Read a lot about Linux servers configuration. Then: 1) install Linux off line 2) remove all unused software (remove X for dedicated server) 3) disable USB, bluetooth 4) close all network services 5) enable/configure firewall 6) configure ACL, harden sysctl.conf 7)...

The choice of partitioning scheme is individual. I have documents on separate partition so if OS partition needs to be formated, I don't lose anything and I have access to the latest version of the documents and config files. Swap partition or swap file usage in Linux was explained by Ingo...

No, systemd-free distros are not affected but keep OS updated.

This is the reason I never suggest Linux to Windows users. However, if you have problems with OS (does not matter which) you need to explain the issue otherwise nobody will be able to help. Performance (of any OS) is up to you. You can tweak Linux to get more speed: load faster, run games...

If alsamixer can't find card0, then first check if your kernel see system sound card. Maybe something happened during the update. So no kernel recognized sound card (card0), no sound.

I am talking about VM. Not OS running in RAM. To secure VM you need hypervisor type I and currently the best is Qubes. Qubes lets you running different insecure OSes in a way that VMclient has access to any hardware in a controlled way. So you can install Windows, infect it and observe how...

I don't like installing and reinstalling OS. OS is a tool that should work. The only time to install OS is hardware failure. Regarding security and VM. Qubes is the only VM hypervisor (type I) that is really secure so anything else and particularly hypervisors type II are not secure. As...
