    HELP! Disk filling up!!

    not sure what that folder is and no linux install should take up that much space. Something is not right. If you are not married to mint maybe try ubuntu or fedora and see if they work better for you. Sometimes your favorite linux does not work well on a computer so you have to try something...

    HELP! Disk filling up!!

    like I said, just because you can do a thing does not mean you should. The problems I see with encryption are fairly constant. People lose the key or password, something happens and now you can't get your data. Is it worth it? I suggest Keep It Simple Stupid. Go into timeshift and stop it from...

    it sounds like windows 10 or 11 home and it is stuck in "S" mode which restricts all software except purchased direct from microsoft web store. You must disable "S" mode...

    Need help maintaining security on firefox

    I have not ever had a problem with backdoors and firefox. As for the router if you do not have access then that is a mute point, if you want the online privacy you can go to the TOR browser. It is slower but routes your traffic around multiple points on the planet making it extremely tough to...

    Steam Trouble

    celeron processors are low end. If you do not have the power to run a game then that is why it fails. That cheap $200 laptop is great to play with and not worry about damage, but if you want games you can't go cheap.

    I am answering the person and what they want involves Kali but I fear they are not ready for it. I will not respond to the rest of your post as it is argumentative.

    we are not here to argue. I cast my opinion and you can disagree, but bottom line is the person wants to evolve to Kali, I try to give the best advice I can. But I will not argue with you over a linux distro.

    No offense meant to mint but it is geared toward basic beginner and I fear the user will not learn linux as well as they would need to. If they are going to Kali you need to be better than just plug in mint and go.

    Secure messengers - Signal and Telegram

    another thing I love about telegram is that if I am talking to somebody I can edit my mistyped message and I can delete the conversation or parts of it not just on my device but on the other end also.

    before you learn "ethical hacking" you need to be well versed in the OS. are you well versed in Linux or are you wanting to learn that too? If you are well versed in Linux then go get Kali and start playing. If you are not well versed in Linux then DO NOT INSTALL...

    Secure messengers - Signal and Telegram

    it takes the average person longer to realize they are being screwed or tracked. Then they move to what you already knew. only reason gf moved to telegram was when I showed her a screenshot of my messages and compared to hers and she saw AT&T killing my replies. She switched right away. If you...
