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.

Do not use Kaspersky, Avast or whoever else. Stick with the built in defender as that is the safest.
Also I think they were asking how to wipe Linux completely.
They all have downsides but since you have defender anyway you might as well use it
Kaspersky is just of of the companies that exploits fear. Also it is somehow more shady than pretty much everything else.
Your the one pushing Russian greyware. I never said Linux is magically secure. You just need to be aware of things that are a security or privacy panacea.
