The only time I’ve booted into Windows in the last month is for the Battlefield beta and my work’s annoying proprietary VPN. Other than that I’d say Linux is finally ready for the desktop. Proton was the straw that broke Microsoft’s back for me.

    What OS do you recommend for desktop Linux. I’m mostly into protecting my data.

    That really depends on you, keep in mind a lot of distro’s like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kali Linux are based off of Debian just using different repositories and with system files in different locations.

    I personally went with Debian and have had little to no complaints, definitely BASH/Shell/Terminal heavy so if you’re not willing to learn BASH I would probably use an immutable distro that you can’t easily break like Bazzite.

    I use Linux Mint, which supports AppArmor or SELinux if you need the extra security, as well as allowing full disk encryption to be setup during install. Cinnamon (its default desktop environment) is very usable, especially if you’re used to Windows.
