  That’s a lot of advanced shit, which can totally bork a system. What average user paths can we take program wise or etc?

  Like a Linux mint user for instance who’s first stop is diving into a Linux distro of their choice and wanting to gain 80 percent of the gains with 20 percent of the hassle and maintenance.

    Basic internet precautions: if you’re looking at a GitHub for a famous piece of software that has only 250 total downloads: double check the Url, read any commands before you run them and compare to documentation if you’re unfamiliar with a piece of one, if you run something in docker or similar containerization for any reason make sure you set the PUID and GUID of the containers to a user other than root or they’ll be root by default

      I get that. Which is why anti virus and things are kind of common sense is what everyone usually says. Watch what you do and click etc. But your reply did not really address my question. What’s the average Joe version of the link you posted, as it was for advanced users.
