I’m about to install bazzite on my wife’s older (2017) Windows 10 machine, and I’ve been going over how to recreate everything she currently has. Most programs (even proprietary ones) are not an issue, but I’m not finding much in the antivirus department.
I never even thought to install one on my Linux machine (also on bazzite, but I have used other distros in the past). So although I am no stranger to Linux, this issue blindsided me.
I know clamav exists, and I’m educating myself on how to use it, but a GUI would be nice for the wife. She’s not afraid of the terminal, but she likes the convenience of GUI programs.
Any suggestions? What do you use? Or is it just generally accepted that one should be careful and keep things up-to-date and that’s enough?
AppImage is just a format, nothing is stopping distros from adding a binfmt_misc rule that makes all appimages be sandboxed with any tool. (this also means you can set this up so that they get executed inside a flatpak env btw)
