Newbie with questions about Debian

I got an old Windows 7 laptop that was going to be thrown out and decided to put Linux on it (see previous thread here). Most people suggested I go with the latest stable version of Debian, so that’s what I installed. I’ve mostly used Windows, but I do have some experience with Ubuntu....

Illecors,

I’d like to respond to 3.

My suggestion would be to setup a keyfile to unlock the partition automatically. You can use your EFI partition to store the keyfile, which makes no sense from security perspective; or you can keep it on a usb drive. Machine will ask for password if usb is not present, or boot straight up if it is.

Illecors,

You’re pointing at the ugliest corner there is, and yet I’d like to point out that there’s been that kind of attack yesterday and the day before; and the tools and people reacted well enough for it to go unnoticed for most folk on the fediverse.
