Yeah, the only scary moment I’ve had was when the laptop decided to suspend itself, and when I turned it back on, Linux had disabled all networking systems outside of the default, but immediately started up qBit for some reason, so that was great.
I figured the further I got from Windows, the easier all of this would become, given the community’s tendency towards things like Linux, privacy, etc. It’s only gotten painfully more difficult and contains a lot more gatekeeping. As I’ve asked for help with things like this, especially on the newer versions of Mint and Ubuntu, I just get insulted, even though the old solutions no longer seem to apply.
