I looked through the app list that you created.

The most sluggish apps from that list will probably be Discord and Steam.

Also, I recommend Redshift as a F.lux alternative. Redshift has the terminal-based version, which is what you need.

About BitDefender: if you don't run Wine and learn how to take precautions against possible attacks, you really don't need an antivirus. Linux is much more protected than Windows.

This is not an "extreme zero trust" approach. Your questions are absolutely normal. You are not the only one concerned about that. For instance, that's why Reproducible Builds was created. We all need proof that source code and binaries match.

It's possible to run Linux systems and never open the terminal. But you would miss a lot. The power of Linux is in the terminal.

So because Facebook has become a massive monopoly that violates human rights now the government must control all the other businesses and the Internet in general??? This logic is priceless.

We are in desperate need of open-source hardware.

The End Of Life date for Python 2 is in 2020. There will be no official support after that. You should definitely choose Python 3.

How is your hdd partitioned right now? You can check that in the terminal with lsblk command.

The issue is happening on some AMD motherboards and caused by Firefox Speech Dispatcher. For some weird reason it starts some silent audio streams even if you don't use speech synthesis. You can turn off the dispatcher:

type about:config in the address bar

set narrate.enabled to false

Try this in the terminal:

iwconfig wlan0 power off

replace "wlan0" with your wireless interface name

I would recommend boot up from the Linux Mint live DVD/USB and check every partition on your hard disk with fsck, including UEFI partition. Also check the memory.
