So I get hacked every time that I even atempt to reinstall things, how very annoying.

Got no proof? How about this lovely error that I encountered?

# update-grub
Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub'
Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub.d/50_linuxmint.cfg'
Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub.d/init-select.cfg'
/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 275: cannot create /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new: Operation not permitted

And *cows turn themselves inside-out all the time" right?

Anyway I tried Vanilla OS but it’s the most tablet-y thing I ever saw and, despite the added security, wouldn’t go well with my setup.
