I have default windows defender, but didnt even know its antivirus lol. Is there any antivirus installed by default on any popular linux distro? What do you use?

I feel like antivirus can just annoy me when trying to crack something, but maybe defender protects me and im not aware.

Also never copy and paste a command line you see online, it can hide nasty things.

And if you don't understand it and you do find yourself needing to do some terminal stuff chatgpt can be helpful breaking down what is going on.
