      Don’t most Linux distributions not enable full disk encryption by default? How would that have improved the situation in this case?

        While it’s rarely by default (I actually don’t know any that do by default but), it is usually a simple checkbox during the installation. And a provided password, of course.

        It’s worse than that, lots of these linuxes actually have this builtin virus called wine, which means they are really just windows in disguise.

        It also makes them look like a hacker to the FBI, that’s why TYOTLD has never come. Most linusers are getting dissapeared to guano bay.

        Far safer to stay on windows, linus is only suitable for real hackers who can grep their way into cia mainframe to expunge their records.

          Personally I cannot say, but I’ve seen Mint recommended a lot and new Linux users sound happy with it.

          If this were Linuxmemes I’d say that LFS is the only real Linux distro everything else is just conformity and giving in to THE MAN

      Had Pop!_OS. Had multiple issues with sound and a work VDI.

      Went back to Mint. No issues at all. Same everything (hardware / headset / etc).

      Go Mint.
