What’s the best antivirus for Manjaro KDE?

Surprisingly, antivirus isn't super popular among Linux users, including Manjaro. Many antivirus products focus more on corporate compliance than actual protection for everyday users. You might find something, but it likely won't be necessary for most home users.

Before you dive into looking for antivirus, can you share your specific use case? That might help tailor the advice better.

Honestly, you probably don’t need an antivirus at all. Most viruses target organizations with deep pockets, not regular folks. The bigger threats these days are phishing and scams, which antivirus won't protect you from since they rely on tricking users rather than exploiting software.

Also, can you name at least one virus that exists on Linux? It's kind of rare!

Viruses on Linux are pretty rare, but you can still manage app permissions and sandbox them if you want extra security. Using Flatpaks helps with this automatically, so that might be something to consider.
