Debian vs Ubuntu: Which Linux to chose for Crypto related activities?

[BitMos]

Hello All,

I am looking for a secure, stable, light and easy to use Linux version for Crypto related activities: wallets, surfing, mining etc... Could you please help me chose between Debian and Ubuntu Desktop, and maybe other options of your liking?

thx a lot.

If you have the time to spend configuring you could always go with Arch Linux.

Otherwise Ubuntu/Linux Mint are pretty good.

Not sure about Ubuntu (haven't used it in a while) but Linux Mint has an option to encrypt your home partition in the installation process that's very straight forward.

I prefer Red Hat distributions like Fedora and CentOS because that's what I work on all the time, but any Linux distro should work.  Just encrypt your partitions and if you are running a Red Hat clone, you can also enable SE Linux.
