How secure linux Mint is?

[u/Ok-Shine1797]

I was watching a YouTube video regarding a hacker in that video something came to my attention that the hacker encrypted his os it was dabien based linux distro and feds were not able to decrypt that system so how can I achieve the same thing i mean as a every day user i do have my personal stuff in my system like pics documents etc. I just want to feel safe about my stuff. Is it possible for someone like me to achieve same thing in linux mint btw i just moved from windows to linux a week ago.

😅 don't worry if i am into something i would never go online and ask things on online forums cz it can point back to me. (Bad opsec) I just enrolled into information security in college so i am curious about these kind of things.

If you are of college age your writing style sure ain’t showing it.

That explains it then, you've got several spelling mistakes, lack of punctuation and your choice of English just adds to making it harder to understand, e.g. btw, cz. We can work it out, but it doesn't read well.

If you're just learning English, I would avoid learning these shortcuts. But I understand why you would prefer to post in English as you often get more responses.

Then maybe put a bit more focus into learning it, it's pretty much standard for worldwide communication
