Are you looking for the safest version of Linux? The best for your tasks?
Ask yourself why do you seek a Linux operating system with high performance in terms of security and test one of those Linux OS proposed in the link above.
I think they are the best Linux distributions today …. or does anyone have any better suggestion? If so, please write a comment below! Thank you.
If you use TAILS you are certainly interested to better know HEADS because Heads isn’t simply another Linux distribution, it merges physical hardening of particular hardware platforms and flash protection attributes with a Linux boot loader in ROM as well as custom Coreboot firmware.
The key factor in Heads is represented by its steady monitoring of the boot process that allows detecting if the firmware has been changed by malware.
If this first check certifies that all is unchanged, heads uses the TPM as a hardware key to decrypt the hard disk.
The certified integrity checking of the root filesystem is really effective against exploits but it doesn’t secure the system against each possible attack but it is able to effectively divert many types of attacks against the boot process and physical equipment that have usually been ignored in conventional setups, hopefully increasing the issue beyond what most attackers are willing to spend.

It’s the perfect nightmare and everyone do all his best to avoid it but sooner or later it happens.
Loosing data from a hard disk or a USB device is more common than you can image and everyone has experienced it!
Windows has different commercial solutions available to recover data and partitions but, if you use Linux, you need something different.
The best solution I found for Linux is an old but current article by Lifehacker.au that I strongly recommend if you are experiencing this kind of problems and want to solve them.
“My question: what apps do you use to record/stream your desktop while using your camera to insert your face live on the bottom right of your screen?”
“If your computer having problems or lags while using Windows operating systems, you’ll discover some fast and lightweight OS in this article. There is another post where we discussed best alternative operating systems that are not specifically for old PC’s”
Do you use a VPN to connect to Internet and increase your privacy? If you are one of the many you would be sure that the VPN you are paying is really working properly.
You can always use, via browser, one of those dedicated websites that check your Ip and, in some cases, test the real effectiveness of VPN and/or use Terminal.
But, for my experience, if you prefer to test your public IP without using the Terminal, the best tutorial for this specific task has been published by http://www.tecadmin.net.

When you want to check if you have a 32-bit or a 64-bit Linux you can open a Terminal and just type:
5 commands to check memory usage on Linuxfile /sbin/initor
archIf you prefer to know how much about the RAM you installed on the PC, type:
free -m
or
grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
for more detailed info you can try:
cat /proc/meminfoor
grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
if you prefer to monitor your RAM in real time.
