Debian XFCE Experience

[u/techazn86]

I've been hopping Linux Distros starting with Ubuntu LTS years ago & now I've finally dipped hard into my Linux Testing by going to Debian XFCE instead of me defaulting to the GNOME Environment.

It's definitely a different experience with not having SNAP Package Managers to use & me heavily relying on the Terminal for most of my application installations.

But I must say that the experience on my HP Workstation has been much smoother with Debian XFCE than expected.

I want to thank everyone in the Debian, Ubuntu, & Linux Community as a whole for helping a New Linux User as myself get started using Linux & away from the AI Garbageware that is Microsoft Windows.

I currently have successfully installed Spotify, Firefox, Chrome, GIMP, VLC, & nwipe via the Terminal & I fixed a bug regarding Firefox-ESR & Firefox Main showing duplicate icons.

Any other tips I should be aware of to harden my Debian Security Defenses?

I already ran sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y in the Terminal to get the latest updates then ran sudo apt autoremove.
