I'm thinking about helping a #senior friend move to #Linux instead of upgrading from #Windows 10 to 11. Wondering what #security #apps I should install for them... Or any apps in general?
Is it still the case that Linux doesn't need #antivirus #software? Or if it does, what's recommended? Is it reasonable to assume I can install and configure #UFW and not worry about them calling me up asking about popups or why something's not working?
What are good set-and-forget apps/settings?
