Sold my 2022 M2 MacBook Pro because I found it boring and resurrected my daughter's old high school clunker...

Which version of Linux Mint? still with supported security updates?
Join the club I am on Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.2 LTS on old X5676 with 512 sata SSD and 12GB RAM, works fine.
Why did you disable the firewall of your router?

Thanks, same distro here, new download/install.
Yeah, my old MacBook loves it, much more fun than the M2 MBP. Apple is really starting to grab you by the short and curly's.
Umm, my router is a ZTE Mobile Router/WiFi and I haven't actually disabled the firewall as much as, if it has one, enabled it from new. I'll have to check i guess.
Update: Nup, no native Router Firewall.

Cinnamon 21.2 LTS, so yeah. Although, I noticed Ubuntu have changed their policy on new Server downloads from 6 year LTS, back to 3 years. Not sure about Mint etc.
Cruising the dark web with just Tor? Disable anything on the browser at least while doing so? Hardening on Mint in any form? Apparmor/ SELinux custom profiles?

Cheers, nah, I use the TOR browser for Onionshare only.
I use TAILS or Qubes/Whonix for playing on the Darkside, and then primarily for Crypto or 'prepper' style backup and tinfoil hat stuff.
Hardening my system is on my list but atm I'm still adding bits and bobs to a mini home network that has gaping holes in it, but I'll look at your suggestions in due course, cheers.

Haha... don't be too hasty there CT...
I still have 5 Apple devices, not including my Airtag collection and Airpods Pro 2 so don't be too harsh on me.
The reason I made the Linux switch is because it looks like Sonoma is going to be the last OS-X to run on Intel based Mac's, even making OCLP useless in the future. And, my future plans tend to require more hardware/software expansion options than shear grunt,!
So the ARM processor based Macs are no real use to me.
I like fiddling inside computer cases more than 3D modelling with them.

TBH... I wouldn't know where to start on this system. FlatPak, Synaptic...?
Any tips welcome...

Those 2 links are a bit old, 2019 and 2021, maybe not suitable for current versions
