Yeah, the only scary moment I've had was when the laptop decided to suspend itself, and when I turned it back on, Linux had disabled all networking systems outside of the default, but immediately started up qBit for some reason, so that was great.
I figured the further I got from Windows, the easier all of this would become, given the community's tendency towards things like Linux, privacy, etc. It's only gotten painfully more difficult and contains a lot more gatekeeping. As I've asked for help with things like this, especially on the newer versions of Mint and Ubuntu, I just get insulted, even though the old solutions no longer seem to apply.
I get that too, it can be difficult to get help. I try to ignore it and have been using Linux for about 15 years as an OS. I use Kubuntu on my laptop, but I've used Mint also. I'm thinking of changing back but it's so much work, and there are a lot of other options I'd like to try.
I've had my network locked out as well, the first iteration of ProtonVPN I used would lock it out if you didn't close the app before shutting down. I contacted Proton and they sent me the commands to unlock it, so I have them handy in a file. That problem was fixed, afaik, because I can shut down without exiting the app now. I haven't had my comp suspend, Linux used to have a problem with suspend so I've stayed away from it. I haven't had any problems with Proton otherwise, I used it on my Android as well, I have a paid plan.
