Having Linux as your operating system is one of the better decisions you can make concerning your computer’s security. However, many Linux users make the same mistakes of believing that it’s enough just to have it on your computer and only that fact will make all threats simply disappear, when unfortunately the reality is quite different. This is why we decided to talk about 5 tips to improve your Linux desktop security in 2017 that are easy to follow and will give great results.
