You're welcome friend!
I know all this already. But I also use arch and have been for the last 6+ years and I use ufw lol
There are way more viruses written for windows than there is for Linux
-
Linux users find viruses and they report them and then everyone works on a fix for it and it gets patched as soon as possible. This is why open sourced code is good.
-
Windows takes forever to fix or patch viruses most of the time they probably dont even care.
Everything virus related or even bug related gets patched almost immediately under Linux
Also... Everything you install on Linux is pre compiled and ore configured inside a package manager and these packages get checked constantly for bugs and viruses. Theres almost no need to install anything on Linux from websites that could be compromised
Out of the 13 years I have been using Linux I haven't Once caught a virus but I also study malware and write malware so I also understand it more on a deep level.
But honestly it's very hard to catch a virus on Linux
ClamAV is really only used to check for cross virus contamination. It's a tool that checks for windows malware inside of Linux.
Linux doesn't need any malware software. The way Linux runs and works is already way more secure in itself, almost everything you'll ever download is pre compiled intro software repositories that are checked constantly.
The only way you'll catch a virus on Linux is being dumb and clicking ads or downloading something from untrusted sources like websites that could be fake but look real.
Pop OS is based off of Ubuntu so I mean makes sense.
I also noticed that. It takes all the pressure off me though because I'm an arch user and have been for 10 years 😂
Bro I got banned from reddit earlier for reporting something very serious and disturbing and they gave the person a temporary suspension but ban me for trying to make it a safer place. That whole website is fucked. That CEO is POS.
Aaron Swartz is rolling in his grave right now for sure. Used to be an amazing place for free speech now it's filled with worse people compared to 4chan and 8kuk
I wish I knew about Lemmy sooner. I'm loving how relaxed and nice everyone seems here
Oh this looks very clean! Great work and love arch
