Thinking on switching to linux
(lemmy.sdf.org)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Use Norton right now
Drop Norton, full stop.
Take a look at https://www.privacyguides.org/en/basics/vpn-overview/ to get a better overview of what you need to look for in a VPN.
If you're not tied to it there are other options that with great on Linux. Mulvad for one.
Adding to this, don’t use Norton or any other anti-virus provided VPN.
Mullvad works great and has an app.
NordVPN works also great. I use KDE and there was a plugin to manage NordVPN from the task bar.
