  • I know, but NK politically isn't that far away from PRC.

    I recall a statement from an article I've read several years ago on the presentation of Will Scott, a professor who has been in NK, at 31C3 2014.

    Als sich Scott Root-Zugang verschaffte, fand er ein für Normalnutzer unzugängliches Programm, das die komfortable Einrichtung verschlüsselter Datenträger erlaubte. "Das ist interessant, wenn ihr einen AES-verschlüsselten Datenträger braucht, an dem die NSA garantiert nichts manipuliert hat", scherzte Scott.

    When Scott gained root access, he found a program inaccessible to normal users that allowed the convenient setup of encrypted data carriers. "That's interesting if you need an AES-encrypted data carrier that the NSA is guaranteed not to have tampered with," joked Scott.

  • It's often useful to specify the version though. The current version of Linux Mint is 21.3 Virginia and based on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish, where the first part, Jammy, is the codename of the Ubuntu release. So "Mint 21.3", "Mint Virginia", "Ubuntu 22.04", "Ubuntu Jammy" or even "Debian Bookworm" should be helpful when querying a search engine.

    As I'm German and the German Ubuntu-Community has a really good unofficial Wiki which is really helpful for setting things up or just rummage around, I can't say much about the English pendants for Mint or Ubuntu.

  • I think it's about the privacy being harmed when needing to login, e.g. for bug reporting and working with the source code by means oft GitHub, not for the passive part of just downloading the source for local use.
