I'm new to Linux Mint, and I'm curious about how updates work. In Windows, there are regular security updates that pop up, but I've heard Linux is free from spyware. So, is there a similar system for security updates in Linux Mint, or can you really escape viruses altogether?

Most Linux distros, including Mint, have an updater that provides regular security updates. The key difference is that users have more control over when and how often these updates happen, which can make them less intrusive than what you experience on Windows. So yes, updates are definitely a thing!
Ok, thank you! I had no idea honestly.
