I am back with another published article.
Please be kind! I am a self-taught Linux user and by no means an expert. My goal with this guide is to help newcomers to Linux have an easier and more secure start.
To all the experts out there, please be kind and do share your tips and observations. I am happy to keep updating the article to make the self-hosting world more secure.

Another great article! I’m curious about the reasoning for using Debian on a Pi vs the Pi OS which is based off Debian?
I only use Alpine on Pis so I’m interested to hear why any Debian at all?
Just because I know it and I wanted something with as little bloat as possible.
Tried alpine once, could not get it running.
You wrote a guide on how to install and use a Linux distro but you can’t install another distro. Isn’t that a little bit of a contradiction, same with the statement “with as little bloat as possible”, that’s exactly what Alpine is made for. Are you sure you should give other people advice?
For Raspberry Pi’s I prefer DietPi which is Debian based but not full of unnecessary stuff for servers like Pi OS is.
