This is my config for 2021, on my Windows 10 install nothing changed from the last year post aside from removing MBAM from my system.
I dualboot Kubuntu 20.10 on this machine
(it replaced my Arch Linux install long story) , on the Linux side of things I don't have any security config aside from usual backup strategy and these three rules:
Respect the privacy of others.
Think before you type.
With great power comes great responsibility.
To close, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed new year 2021.
Stay safe, wear a mask!
