    Honestly, I use Linux and I need VirusTotal scans for side-loading .deb packages. It’s because I’m not a coding expert, auditing every code of the packages before installing it. So, I think it’s myth that Linux do not need antivirus or anti-malware. We have other different approaches too such as using anti-malware DNS servers.








  • Yes, of course, I can easily install Steam on my Ubuntu-based latest stable version of Linux Mint with the flagship Cinnamon desktop environment. 😄 I just need to get the .deb package file from the official Steam site, and then open the terminal where the .deb file was downloaded, install the appropriate drivers first, and then type: $ sudo dpkg -i steam.deb ; sudo apt install -f -y && reboot 🤓
