www.fosslinux.com
We'll explore steps such as updating your system regularly, installing security software, setting up a firewall, and configuring user accounts with strong passwords.

Windows refugee here. I’m planning to move to Linux Mint but want to make sure I don’t do something stupid, as I’m unfamiliar with the Linux operating system.

I found this link with 10 tips to secure Mint.

Is this a good list? Anything else I should do to secure a Mint install?

Thanks for helping a noob!

    Do not allow http or ftp traffic as this guide suggests, unless you are active as a server for your local network on those particular ports, and you are behind a NAT firewall that your router usually provides.

    I love that Mint brings people to Linux, but its users write some silly guides sometimes.
