With the increase popularity of the linux desktop and the steamdeck, will new viruses and malwares be developed for linux systems? should we better use an antivirus?

    I’d agree if most antiviruses weren’t the equivalent of washing your hands with plain tap water and nothing else, or often, poop in place of soap

      Yeah. I guess that depends on your use case, but I do quite a lot “sewage plumbing” (malware analysis) so it’s nice to have that extra layer just in case I fuck up.
