Indeed! "Perfection is when there is nothing more to take away, rather than nothing more to add".

There's also a joke in software circles that every program contains at least one bug and can be optimized by at least one instruction -- and that therefore all software is reducible to a single instruction that doesn't work 😉

I'm thinking about helping a #senior friend move to #Linux instead of upgrading from #Windows 10 to 11. Wondering what #security #apps I should install for them... Or any apps in general?

Is it still the case that Linux doesn't need #antivirus #software? Or if it does, what's recommended? Is it reasonable to assume I can install and configure #UFW and not worry about them calling me up asking about popups or why something's not working?

What are good set-and-forget apps/settings?
