What don't you completely understand about Linux firewall? I don't mind helping you learn

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 😂

Manjaro also has a "rolling release" model that isn't actually fully rolling release. They hold back packages for a few weeks which in return has almost always destroyed the AUR for not only manjaro users but Arch users.
They lie about it being fully rolling. Not just that they have forgotten to sign their signature keys multiple times before releasing big updates.
Sure it's an easier Arch for "beginners" but I'd say it's easier to just install arch on a VM if you really want to learn and use arch that bad a VM is the best way.
Pure Arch is better than Manjaro. Hell I hate Ubuntu but I'd rather use that over Manjaro
That's awesome! A link to the past was fun. I think the remake was really well done also in the new art style. I do like both Botw and Totk but it just doesn't feel like Zelda in my opinion. Idk something about waking up early before school and playing wind waker and begging my mom to skip school just to play it 😂 those years are behind me now but I guess it's just a nostalgia thing
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
