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.

Oh yeah that's right. I totally forgot ooensuse does that 😆 been a long time since I've used it.

I'm on Arch myself. Been a Linux user for 15 years I love it

Thanks for reminding me

Tumbleweed is rolling release so just make sure you snapshot your system once before an update and once after just Incase something goes wrong

Most of my days are spent writing malware and studying and testing it to see how it infects a system and how to learn how to stop it I also study malware I find online.

When I say I use a VM almost all my time I don't mean it as my actual "computer"

My computer is a 24 core threadripper beast with 64gbs of ram. When I study malware I do it strictly through a VM and when I'm browsing the word or YouTube I use a VM.

When I'm doing activities such as 3D printing and running my print farm I do not use a VM as it takes a lot of processing power and graphics power to run those programs.

I just like using VMs to learn about open sourced software and how it works and I like breaking and fixing things.

Cyber security is amazing but also sucks when you get a call at 3am lol

If you have any questions send me a message :D

I feel the same way. As someone who studies and works in cyber security I love teaching people about how to stay safe or at least as safe as possible.

Some people don't go the degree I go to just to keep my stuff secure. I use hardened Arch kernels and I hardly even use arch my entire time I spend on a PC is through a VM. I have 2 computers one just for windows and gaming and then one for Linux and cyber security and coding stuff

I hate dual booting and do not like windows being close to my Linux install so I keep them separate on two different computers 😂

Other than doing 3D printing and rendering stuff all I do is study malware and writing my own programs.

Hey, I figured it all out after messing around for a little bit. Thank you so much! You all are awesome!

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 😂

You are right I indeed did. I deleted the comment. Still trying to get used to this app 😆. Thank you

Yikes... Have a good night friend.

Thanks homie. Appreciate it!
