Hey everyone! I recently switched from Windows 10 to Debian 13 and I'm used to having real-time antivirus software like Malwarebytes to help protect me while online or gaming. I know Linux is generally more secure, but I don't want to assume my system is completely safe. What security software can I use to give myself some peace of mind as a casual user?

You should definitely consider using uBlock Origin for ad-blocking, and if you want an extra safety net, Malwarebytes has a browser extension available. Also, ClamAV now offers real-time protection, so that could be a good option. But honestly, as long as you keep your system up to date and avoid clicking on sketchy links or running random scripts as root, you should be pretty safe overall.
Thanks for the suggestions! I know being careful is key, but I don't want to rely solely on myself to avoid mistakes. I'll check these options out.
