Daaaamn dude. Did you have to go on a ventilator?

Daaaamn dude. Did you have to go on a ventilator?

Thankfully no. Just 2 weeks of bedrest. It was super hard to breathe and I was miserable the whole time.

[Sprung]

Hello all you happy people

[Zaladane]

Hello all you happy people

@ Dill, I've installed Linux Mint on VMware to get a feel for it. Do you know if I need an antivirus and firewall. I keep reading conflicting opinions.

No, there is no need for an antivirus or firewall. If you must insist on an antivirus you can install one but I've never been infected on Linux in all my years using it. The built-in firewall is all you need, Linux already uses a firewall.

Edit

I was looking everywhere for an Xbox One X but they're all sold out, so I decided to buy a PC that makes the next gen consoles toys by comparison. Should be arriving the 8th of July.

(Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6GHz, 32GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, 480GB SSD, 2TB HDD, 802.11AC WiFi, Win 10 Home)

Thanks Dill. Pretty much what I've already done. I activated the built-in firewall and didn't bother with an AV. But I feel better for your input.

You'll find that your PC also runs cooler on Linux, aside from freeing up resources because it does not need to run an antivirus. Overall running Mint on a PC is like a breath of fresh air for the hardware.

I'm thinking about putting it on an old laptop that runs like shit under Win10.
