gentoo, install it

Once a year i usually do a reformat which includes wiping a machine and installing again. I'll then install whatever things I need for my current workflow off the top of my head, and naturally all the things I don't need/don't remember get left behind in the wipe.

It's like the hgtv sluts that tell you to clean out your wardrobe periodically and give away or sell all the shit you dont use

Stop with this fuckin meme already.
Common sense is neccesary, but you won't avoid all the threats out htere just with it, you need some software (firewall, antivirus...)

Don't use additional virus protection suites or whatever.
They are an additional attack vector.

There isn't any excuse for having antivirus unless you have Flash enabled in your browser.

WinDirStat to decide what to delete when disk gets full. I torrent uncompressed blu-ray rips, and decided 1997's Batman & Robin should stay instead of Master and Commander.

S.M.A.R.T. utility once a week or less, when org-mode starts nagging me to check.

You really don't need to do much. If anything gets shitty, I can have Ubuntu install itself again in two minutes and then just git pull my dotfiles and be working again right away.

underrated comment.

a lot of these shitty AVs have all kinds of CVEs and many of them have code that runs in kernelspace.

only a moron would actually use AV. Might as well give malware devs your root password.

>>59174526
oh well, tough shit.

the flash VM is insecure shitware and you are fucking moronic if you allow your shitty porn addiction to outweigh security concerns.
