    Nice to know you’re enjoying Linux :P

    I think that later on in your adventure, you’ll notice that you don’t actually need a distro that’s hard to maintain in order to do the hardcore stuff.

    Going back to more tame distros (Mint, Debian, Fedora, Solus) may actually suit you better, even for said tasks.

      what would you recommend for cybersecurity? i’m interested in a few things (shell scripting, web dev, nlp), but i’d also really liek to know how to stop hackers

        Cybersecurity and “stopping hackers” are very extensive and complex topics. It’s kinda like a mix of many areas of knowledge (software, hardware, coding, internet of things, etc…)

        So one advice I think I can give you is that there is a “tool” of hacking that is often overlooked: Social Engineering.
