I'm going to be migrating to Linux and using Mint. I'm just paranoid about doing something wrong and accidentally walking into a security vulnerability. So I want to set aside time to properly learn things and understand what I'm doing but I'm just busy AF these days...

    I have four pieces of advice

    1. btrfs file system for easy backup and recovery
    2. Encrypt your drive
    3. use an ad blocker everywhere
    4. use virus total to scan anything you might be wary of, and if you really feel like you need an AV, they do exist for Linux.

    I usually prefer Debian based systems, but when I finally ditched windows 3 weeks ago, I switched to Manjaro, and I'm loving it. You got this!
