Security Focused Daily Driving Distros?

I have been tossing around the idea of a little distro hopping. I'm an avid mint fan. It was my first jump from windows. I became quite familiar with mint but felt the want to branch out and went down the rabbit hole (oh my lanta). I like stability and cleanliness. Security by default. Least mental load possible long-term.

I'm currently testing out NIXos. Next will be VanillaOS, 3rd will be Fedora Silverblue. Anyone have good recommendations? Easy backups, stability, security first posture, least maintenance and memory load. I hate getting scattered in symlinks, scripts, and filesystem placing.

I've tried going full custom Linux mint. But app armour and Firejail constantly conflict or require manual updating and tweaking to keep up to date with app installs, or general life cycle updates.

The most intriguing aspect if NIXos was that basically the entire configurable system was confined to two files. Infinitely reproducable. I tend to swap laptops or hardware relatively often being on the go or getting good tech deals. Having your entire system in two files essentially is awesome.

What are some pros and cons of different distros? What do you daily drive as a power user? Give me your thoughts!

Qubes is good. Not super daily driver friendly. Lots of tweaks needed. I use a laptop like a phone replacement. Banking, apps, messaging, all sorts of usual phone tasks. Also Qubes is too resource heavy on a laptop, it drains the batteries in a couple hours on basic usage. Takes 16 gigs if RAM to run and 32gb to breathe really. Plus 30 ish percent CPU idle roughly on a 12th gen Intel i7.

It's too heavy to daily, perfect for desktop, just not laptop all day material.

Has anyone used Preveil? How is it? Is there any other services similar to it?

Recently, I came across Preveil, which is a service that can provide end-to-end encryption to either your Outlook, Gmail, or Apple Mail email accounts. It’s free, but if you want more storage, obviously, you will need to pay.

It looks very interesting as this could get others to use end-to-end encryption for the emails without having to move to another provider. However, I haven’t really seen any reviews (besides this one from PC Mag) or others expressing their experience with Preveil, so I am unsure if it’s a good service to use or recommend.

Has anyone used it or is familiar with Preveil? Does anyone know if there are similar services to Preveil, preferably those that are open source?


PreVeil Review

With PreVeil, you get free end-to-end encrypted secure cloud storage along with secure email that’s tough enough for business but extremely easy to use, all while keeping your existing email address.
