10 practical tips for securing your Linux Mint system
www.fosslinux.com
While Linux Mint is known for its security features, it is not immune to threats, including malware, viruses, and hackers. It is essential to secure your Linux Mint system to protect critical, personal, and sensitive information from unauthorized access or theft.

Windows refugee here. I’m planning to move to Linux Mint but want to make sure I don’t do something stupid, as I’m unfamiliar with the Linux operating system.

I found this link with 10 tips to secure Mint.

Is this a good list? Anything else I should do to secure a Mint install?

Thanks for helping a noob!

    Do not allow http or ftp traffic as this guide suggests, unless you are active as a server for your local network on those particular ports, and you are behind a NAT firewall that your router usually provides.

    I love that Mint brings people to Linux, but its users write some silly guides sometimes.
