A clean install...you'll never feel more secure:) A couple of best practices I would suggest include:
1) Clone your templates(maybe multiple cloned templates) and never install or use your original templates (This will help keep them secure and if you screw up on a clone you can always delete it and start a new clone from the original template) 2) Think about how you want to divide your different digital lifestyle/compartments e.g. email, banking, personal, work, passwords, etc... 3) What software do you need to install(if any)? Depending on your needs and uses e.g. LibreOffice, plugins, other Linux software? Install those on your cloned templates Maintanence: 1) Keep your templates updated (and Dom0 updated)...this should be done right after an install 2) Backup your data and system weekly/daily (depending on your need) Other security setups: Set up a VPN Explore minimal templates Review BIOs TPM Look at your firewall and restrict IPs based on the Appvms use Customize your DVM (disposable VMs) Welcome and good luck! I never used Linux and I fumble thru fine after a little practice. Don't be scared to post a question after searching if you get stuck. Keep your plugins, if any updated -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
