For the average person like me, having something like an antivirus is better than not on Linux. Especially since I tend to download various things outside of the default repository (i.e. Ankama Launcher which I've only ever seen as a appimage).

Though your advice is good, I couldn't go through with it without wanting to rip my hair out.
