I hope not, the older I get, the bigger screen I want, lol.

WOW, AWESOME REPLY! Your response is more like a Ubuntu CyberSecurity Wiki or HOWTO!

Ubuntu Home Users Security (friendly) Discussion
I am aware this post to my fellow Home Ubuntu users may be anathema (a very bad sin) to many, but it is necessary IMHO at this time.
I hope to begin an ongoing "Home Ubuntu User's security...
Fellow Home Ubuntu Users, Hello (and everyone else),

I'm WITH YOU! I use Firetools (GUI for Firejail) with all APPs that don't need to have access to my drive or other (for some apps I use firejail to keep them off the network). For example, I use...
Re: interesting read about linux security
Great article, thanks for sharing. Currently I use Lynis, Firetools/Firejail, ClamAV/ClamTK, and GUFW/UFW on my home Linux Box, each of which does NOT require the user to be a Linux System...
Re: Installing Lynis screwed up me pc
Great answers. As far as I can see, Lynis update required full update, not just signature files as in anti-virus programs. Is that correct; reinstall for each update? Thank you.
HOW did you install your Lynis? I installed from the Synaptic Package Manager, then ran "sudo lynis audit system". It gave and still gives me a GREAT report and recommendations, but makes no...

Purpose of this post:
Until Ubuntu fixes guest sessions for 18.04 I'd like to open a running discussion on what we (Ubuntu users/community) can do to tighten security for guest session.
...
On my home computer I changed to 18.04 for fun and to play with it (tweak, learn, etc.).
On other boxes I've left 16.04 LTS because it has a secure, guest sessions (guest account) whereas 18.04 does...
Is very tempting but I use canonical-livepatch (source snap store). I don't see it on Synaptic Package Manager (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS).

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I've got those (and others) but am getting errors when running SCAP Workbench in 18.04.
Is that pkg (github link) working for you in 18.04?
Have you already added hidden-users to /etc/lightdm/users.conf
Here's mine (Ubuntu 18.04) without hidden users.

Ubuntu 18.04 Guest Account is NOT secure. Enabling and using the current version of guest sessions that comes with Ubuntu 18.04 may give some a false sense of security.
Current Security Issues...
I have not been able to find an Ubuntu 18.04 SCAP Security Guide.
Is anyone using SCAP Workbench or OpenSCAP with Ubuntu 18.04?
If so, please point me to the SCAP Security Guide. Others (i.e....
