I am back with another published article.

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.
