Please share your thoughts on how best the reader can secure his notebooks.
I’m running Linux Mint 20 Mate in 30 notebooks, of which only two connect to the Net.. I’m a pioneering scientist like Tesla.. I’m experiencing troubles with corporate hackers desperate to steal new science to realize their infantile dreams of avarice.. When corporate hackers hack my netbook, and don’t find anything in it, they punish me by damaging the empty netbook’s OS..
I dumped Firefox in favor of Librewolf, and dumped UFW in favor of PortMaster.. That stopped 95% of their crimes, but the demons still occasionally manage to break in to damage composes in Protonmail while I compose when I forget to disconnect the computer from the Net.. Seems the kooks are desperate to hush truth..
I need a security that blocks the vulnerables in Mint 20.. Which one of your software suggestions works with Mint 20 to find the vulnerables, and offer solutions..?
I tried to install one of those high security OS’s.. A pop-up read “cannot continue with the installation because your IP is double proxied.. Is there a security software that detects and does something to neutralize ‘double proxy’..? Their incessant hack attacking forces me to reinstall the netbook’s OS every two weeks..
I’m running Mint 20 because it’s the only quiet OS suitable for extreme creative writing.. I tried all Linux OS’s to the tune of thousands of wasted hours and hundreds of wasted CD’s.. All the other Linux OS’s are poorly built, glitchy, cluttered, infantile, overly biased religious, user unfriendly, and corrupt since microsoft acquired most of Linux and Canonical to cash it in and to kill the competition.. Those crappy OS’s instantly kill a writer’s roll with garbage animation, glitches, and clutter, like ‘an overly aggressive pest mosquito flying around one’s face, desperate to suck blood while one is deep thinking’..
Kindly recommend a good clean quiet OS for creative writing, and some security software and techniques that might stop this problem.. If I don’t get these sciences going, this human species is extinct in nine years, and this planet is a dust cloud floating in cold dead space after that incoming 200,000-mph 55-mile diameter moon hits it… Your ball..
The reader claims he has tried thousands of Linux distros. This sounds like a big exaggeration. To even reach 1,000, most of these would just be respins.
If the reader has really tried all the distros available, he doesn’t need help from the Linux community, as he’s already determined that Linux doesn’t meet his specific needs and requirements. The solution is to use something other than Linux.
