Security.
Rarely discussed in Linux(?)..
Was scammed recently; naive me let a man w/Bad accent take over my laptop to 'help refund BTC' & make me pay 100$.
Because of that &/or me in Synaptic bloating (2 many) packages, which led to "1t fix broken packages", "put in Debian 10.9 Netinst cdrom", & "can't find key file" messages (yes, all 3 !).
After trying "all" workarounds, I installed another, more simple Linux distro, built up a new setup of relevant programs to build VM, containers, websites, Debian iso image, & CHEF.
Now Chef asks me to give URL to continue setting up a VM etc.
Plz advise &/or help to do it/this.
