hi all
Im sick to death of Microsoft backdoors, telemetry and even IME hardware built into Intel motherboards since 2007 that "phone home to NSA" and in AMD CPUs since 2013
moral of the story - buy an old AMD machine from 2012 and beyond and run Kodachi on it? lol
im using a very old Intel PC, but from 2009
(Sandy Bridge @ 4Ghz (OC) - P67 mobo -14Gb RAM 1600MHZ DDR3 (OC) - Giigabyte GTX 650 GPU - Samsung 860 SSD and 3 x HDDs)
Im wanting a very secure (encrypted) Linux distro, that is also good for a 'semi' noob (tried a few on VM's installed not so good on Terminal but can follow intrusctions and understand its just like CMD in windows of sorts), but also has a store for easy access to all the apps you would get with the likes of Linux Mint and Ubuntu....which are probably just as unsafe as Windows given the user base count ...quiet, barely used FOSS is the way to go IMO - apps and OS that EVERYONE uses is where the "nasties" go...
I cant go off LIVE even though thats the most secure way to go, its not static, for me it has to be installed so I can save stuff.
I should be able to encrypt my SSD on a hardware level, and LINUX on a Software level (double encryption) - but I can NOT get a version of Samsung magician that will recognize my drives properly and give the options the drive IS capable of...
so software encryption will have to do
any ideas?
thanks in advance
