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.

Ah, yes, I can just Uno reverse them. “Can you?” 🤣

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 🤓

Typical Windows users greet me when I use Linux:
“Oh, you must be a hacker, right?”
"Can you install Steam on your computer?

Although I can’t see any problems between you and me, I can still observe people’s lack of empathy and passive-aggressive behavior. What do you think? 🤔

Hmm, I think that based on your comment, I should try to reconsider using a Linux-based phone.

I’ll keep using hashtags for my Lemmy posts. 😄

Thanks for your info. 😄👍

Because it is not that cheap to fully FOSS-ify myself here. 😅 I can’t buy my own servers.

Wow, using microG and Aurora to restore my Google Play purchases? But it’s against Google’s ToS, you said. However, I think I don’t want to risk my Google account being banned by using microG and Aurora. Maybe I have another approach: one phone with Google and one phone without Google.

Lifetime subscription to programming learning apps, video editing apps, AI chat and art generator apps, and audio editing tools, which can only be restored by my Google account when I switch to another phone or reset.

Lucky you. 😎👍

Nice idea 😎👍

it’s true that even smart people fall for well-crafted social engineering.

Linux is the best OS. Thanks to Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds and the Linux community.

Linux is better than Windows.
