I feel the same way. As someone who studies and works in cyber security I love teaching people about how to stay safe or at least as safe as possible.
Some people don’t go the degree I go to just to keep my stuff secure. I use hardened Arch kernels and I hardly even use arch my entire time I spend on a PC is through a VM. I have 2 computers one just for windows and gaming and then one for Linux and cyber security and coding stuff
I hate dual booting and do not like windows being close to my Linux install so I keep them separate on two different computers 😂
Other than doing 3D printing and rendering stuff all I do is study malware and writing my own programs.
Man, you’re living my dream! I also have a windows machine relegated to gaming. Can you expand on using a VM when you want to use your computer? Is that a viable alternative? How is ease of use and boot up times? Do you use Linux on the VMs also? Do you see any performance issues in the actual PC when using the VM in parallel?
Most of my days are spent writing malware and studying and testing it to see how it infects a system and how to learn how to stop it I also study malware I find online.
When I say I use a VM almost all my time I don’t mean it as my actual “computer”
My computer is a 24 core threadripper beast with 64gbs of ram. When I study malware I do it strictly through a VM and when I’m browsing the word or YouTube I use a VM.
When I’m doing activities such as 3D printing and running my print farm I do not use a VM as it takes a lot of processing power and graphics power to run those programs.
I just like using VMs to learn about open sourced software and how it works and I like breaking and fixing things.
Cyber security is amazing but also sucks when you get a call at 3am lol
If you have any questions send me a message :D
