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 don’t use antivirus on Windows, let alone Linux. Just be mindful of what you’re downloading and you’ll be fine.

      Same here. Ever since I remember I don’t have AV, just staying out of sketchy sites is enough. Most of malware is targeted at the least aware and cautious users.
