Hi there,

Win10 is soon not supported. Tbh Linux have been on my radar since I started to break from the US big tech.

But how is security handled in Linux? Linux is pretty open-source, or am I not understanding it correctly. So how can I as a new user make sure to have the most secure machine as possible?

    I used to use ClamAV, but not sure I noticed much of a difference, so haven’t really used any antivirus software for a while now. Curious what people in this thread think of clam.

      ClamAV looks for signatures of known viruses, most of which target Windows and not Linux. So it’s debatable how much more secure you really are by running ClamAV
