From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which AV do you use for Linux? I searched for it a while ago and could not find good options. Either discontinued or extremely expensive (focused on business / servers). Of course there is Clam, but AFAIK it is still lacking in quality and not easy to set up for continuous monitoring.
I’ve been using ESET for a long time, but I don’t actually know what it costs, I get licenses from my company. Might not be suitable price range for home use.
