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?

    No I don’t use an antivirus because I don’t download and run untrusted programs or scripts from the internet.
    I do have some block lists on my firewall that block a lot of malware, phishing, and scammer sites though.

    Properly educating the users is far more effective than any anti virus software.
