Please be kind! I am a self-taught Linux user and by no means an expert. My goal with this guide is to help newcomers to Linux have an easier and more secure start.

To all the experts out there, please be kind and do share your tips and observations. I am happy to keep updating the article to make the self-hosting world more secure.

Not helpful... If that is your opinion, then at least put some reasoning behind it...

i'm sorry.

i personnally think, that debian is in a dying state.

your article is very good and helpful. but just things like installing sudo is not very comfortable. any other linux os has it installed from the start.

also your security tips are helpful for any linux os.

How is Debian in a dying state?

[–] shepry_44@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Debian just hit 30 years and is still one of the most used Linux distros. It's not.

Fanboism. There are entire data centers (like linode) running Debian under the hood. It's stable and consistent.

Thinks it's in dying state and the guy recommends the distro that's doing it's best to kill itself. What's next, "Why don't you use SCO linux?"

That's not reasoning, that's still just your opinion. Note, if you follow up with a straight up claim that "debian is in a dying state" I'm going to expect evidence to back it up. So keep that in mind should you choose to continue dying on this hill.
