Any love for the BSDs?

I've gone the other way this week. I'm currently reading 'Mastering Linux Security and Hardening: Secure your Linux server and protect it from intruders, malware attacks, and other external threats'. Let me know how you find the book, I've eyed it on Amazon more than once.

I should read some more books on security in general. I know the basics but when it comes to sophisticated attacks I don't really have a clue about the best way to protect yourself.

Currently running pfSense as my router, based upon FreeBSD. Tried GhostBSD on a laptop a little while back but couldn't get the wireless card to connect

Did you read the FreeBSD Handbook section on WiFi cards, which outlines how to enable the correct driver in the config file so that it's activated on boot?

I did indeed. Issue came down to the Broadcom wireless card in that laptop.

Hmmmm, thinking of it again Trident seems to still be going

anyway I just have 2 drives one Windows 10 & one Mint. I want to use Mate as a DE, that is easy to install right? It would be nice to use a none Windows OS that has like 5ish distroes instead of 100s.
